So, bought a Coreban Icon 10' for me and a Soutpoint 9'8 for my wife as out first SUPs. Not generally good beginner boards but definately boards that we wont outgrow so there was lots of wobbling and falling at first but after on 2 hours we are def getting the hang of it. Took them out for the first real time this morning as there was only a metre difference in the the tide this morning as opposed to the normal 5 - 6 metre difference in Darwin. What awesome fun we had, catching 1 foot waves with really bugger all push behind them and being able to ride them for a good 100m - although it did take a few waves for me to figure out that it didnt exactly handle like my shortboard!! Better still - no crocs lurking around today! Anyway thought I would share my tiny wave story with you southerners that seem to cleaning up with the monster swell and thank everyone out there who gave advice when I asked for it.
