My wife says we are a community of old men (my father started suping at 71, but then he still kitesurfs), but she enjoys the sup too. Here's my son, aged 4 on his first solo sup. His name is Noah.

your wife could be right but your dad says it all,better old and active than old and f***ed,i know plenty of older active surfers,i think it is the peter pan syndrome but the secret is surfing thats what keeps us young,btw does your wife surf/sup.keep your boy surfing and suping,they are the future of the sport

yup

Yes, DJ, he does. He also needs to learn to swim! I was out, the family came to join me and he asked for a go. It's a lagoon mouth, so I got some wave time (great conditions here yesterday) and he got some flat water.

The board is one of Ivan Van Vuuren's. Coreban 9'6" Performer. Available here in Cape Town, South Africa, and hopefully, for you guys, will be available in Oz some time. Ivan is in negotiation to get them there. There was a vid of it up on the forum (Great new Ivan clip) and I posted some pictures to show off as I'd just bought it.

Don't be too harsh DJ,

Obviously Lazarus has his priorities right. Spend every penny you have on SUP equipment and if there is none left to buy clothes for the kids, just send em out naked? Should be ok until they have to go to school?

PS nice looking board lazarus

He has the board shorts, but he always wants to go naked. (Didn't think about that when I posted the pictures - eek.) Don't know where he gets that from!

Anyone else sup naked?
