Thanks teatrea,

I'm always keen for an early anytime before 8am or after 5pm during the week so i can get to work or weekends. I'm thinking of paddling upwind at times from Talley creek not to far off the beach then turning around and coming back

I'm keen to join you guys also for a paddle in the ocean preferably.Done too much flat water paddling in my lifetime.

I am available most mornings and after 4pm, usually at the Alley.
Got to wash the dust off the Ang's 17 Naish sitting in my shed.

Still yet to christen it on a good dwinder yet.!!!!!

Don't dismiss flat water training, yes i know it's not as much fun but when you do go on a good DW paddle it will be that much better being nice and fit for it. Just remember you wont always blow on to runners and the better you paddle the easier it will be!!!

Yeah mate you'll be right on a12'6 we have guys on 11''6 boards train all the time. It's a good session and everyone push's each other. If you have tomorrow morning free come to the shop at 5:30 and we are doing some in's and outs. Training runs for about 1hr with a strech at the end.

Yeah i do that a bit , its hard work into it , but beats trying to organize cars ect.

Whenever your keen and the conditions are o.k let me know.Usually i start too early for mornings and get home to late , but if i can get away early usually around 4.30 5.00 i can fit in an upwind downwind session.
