My little man of 20 months is obsessed with paddle surfing. He comes out with me in his little life jacket on small runners and has a fit when I leave him with the wife on the beach. Getting the paddle off him is a task in itself. He has ditched all his toys and carries a small paddle around the house and a rocker board as his board. We often find him on it paddling in the lounge room.



I sure he is dreaming of something more like this.

Swanie,

Thats just the best pic!

Thats the spirt of SUP isnt it! I have 3 Daughters 8 10 and 13 and they all SUP. My 10 year old caught her first big wave (she says it was huge lol 2ft at least) green wave today and the guys in the line up gave her the biggest roar. Her smile is still beaming.

I hope your son never looses that passion

Phill

Hey Phill

I doubt he will. His sisters are 4 and 5 and are hooked on surfing. The four year old only wanted a purple board for her birthday. They love the feel and have a surf about 3 times a week. They also draw a lot of attention as they are small and can ride all the way to the beach. They recently have taken to trying to do stand up in the pool with canoe paddles and their boards.


Cheers
