Quite a few of the guys got down for a EARLY paddle this morning and it was well worth it.

It was still dark when Marco, Michael, Matt, Rob and Greenroom hit the water.

As the tide dropped the swell built and a few more crew arrived Steven, Galvo, Windy Miller, Alberto, Paul and a few others, quite a turnout.

It was interesting to see the short and long boarders waiting for waves and the SUP's getting plenty of action.

Marco seems to have got his hand stands happening pretty well, might be starting a trend???

If you want to see a few photos check out http://standuppaddle.com.au/web/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=44

Hopefully I'll sort out a bit of video fottage as well tonight.

Yeah how much fun is it!?
I think at one stage I counted 8 of us hassling for a wave? hehehe good laughs
And those hand stands of Marcos were smoking
When I was packing up there was quite an audience up top.
I gave a couple of cards out and one lady asked if you blokes will be down there again this Sunday as she is super keen to try?
Anyway hope to get some more waves with the crew

Looked like a great day for it!

Its been good for the last week up here on the Gold Coast.


When i was looking at the photos i saw that alot of people werent holding the t grip but instead holding the shaft.

I dont no if they were learning but it looks and feels very uncomfortable.

Yep windy it was SUPtastic, SUPerb, etc,etc,etc.
Had a 2 hour blast with the gang. I took the award for the biggest drop not taken, as I bailed at the last minute with the pressure from the gallery being too much.
All great, what a day.
Cheers

Hey Siny,

Why! what was I doing wrong? I thought it was always a good idea to use your head.

Always trying to play up to the camera when one is around.

How is your 9'8 going? Been getting down the coast for a few waves?


Cheers

Marco
