Me and Paul a.k.a Jacko just paddled from Snapper to Currumbin

Jacko did it in 50 minutes flat and i did it in 55 minutes.

I used my 12 ft and Jacko use his 11'6 Naish

Its low tide at 10:51 so tide should be starting to come back in.

Jake you would have done it heaps quicker if you didn't stop for a swim every coulpe off km's.

You never too old. Most of the people in paddle boarding are around 40 so i think 40 is still young, Jakes old man is going in it and he's like 50 something.
What have you got to lose beside a bit of weight.
