Finally got my first barrel on the ICON this morning. Nothing real special wave wise at Tugun and I paddled into something that was decent enough - about chest high, come down the face, the wave slowed, I ducked my head a bit and got a 2-3 second barrel Nothing huge barrel wise i guess but getting a 10' sup and a 6'2 100kg body into a barrel is no mean feat. Best thing was the look on the face of the 2 shortboarders paddling out - and their comment "how the f&*k did you get that in there"?? The expert SUPer I am shrugged my shoulders and replied "f(*ked if I know!!".
Unfortunately no photo, but my old man who is a die hard old surfer even saw it and said "not bad"!!

well done , im still trying.Missing all the nice waves thanks to some torn rib cartledge from the Noosa race.It sucks being out of the water.
