The other day I was paddling around St Kilda..I popped over to say hi at the SupBus and just as I was about to head off paddling again this guy paddles up on the SupBus Naish Glide and says Hi..are you DJ?

It was another fellow Breezer.. Lobes.. (from Papua New Guinea).. He's here in Melbourne for a few weeks with his work and we talked about the Glide for a while and I said that I had been catching the little waves that come under the pier and wrap around the corner.

I took Lobes across and we played on these waves for ages together.. It's quite a workout because under the pier it gets pretty rough and there's no resting because every time you paddle back out you catch one.

We swapped and I took the Glide and he rode my AST for a while.. T'was great fun.. and Lobes is a really nice guy.

Hey Lobes.. I'll send you a PM and maybe you can join us on our Yarra night paddle tonight?... They're always fun.

Hey there. Thanks for the kind remarks DJ.

When I first met DJ I'd just been for an exhausting 2 hour paddle to Elwood and back on the Glide and really wasnt up for a surf session. But his enthusiasm for SUP is so infectious that before long I was out catching waves with him under the pier.

I'm happy to report that DJ is just as nice and friendly in real life as he appears in these forums. And speaking as someone who is a first time SUP'r on Port Philip bay I found him to be a great font of knowledge about the area. He showed me a cool little wave spot near the St Kilda pier and it was so good I even went back down last night and caught some waves!

Between DJ and other friendly SUP'rs cruising around the beach and the SUP bus doing their thing there is a really good vibe at St Kilda, I'm glad I went down to check it out and suspect you may see me there a bit in the coming weeks!

DJ, Usually I am all keen for little expeditions like this Yarra tour but unfortunately I have to go to rugby training tonight

However apart from this scheduling clash I am still up for anything SUP so count me in for any further adventures
