We're on the cusp of winter. There was quite a debate over what to wear that day. Wasn't quite cold enough for a wetsuit but the air temperature was a bit brisk for just boardies. The water temperature hasn't dropped yet but will soon.

You will notice that DJ wears boardies all year round, even over his steamer

Thanks DJ, nice vid, that Glide spent a bit of time with deck awash towards the end.

Far be it from me to give advice to you, but here is a warning. Be carefull of that backward twist/layback.

I did that coming in the Noosa River mouth on Sunday and popped a rib. That gorgeous yellow board of mine just kept going with me in agony. The consolation is that I hurt myself having heaps of fun like you guys.

Ain't life grand when you get to do this stuff.

Have fun.

ET.
