What a great day, Got up early this morning to catch the decent swell. On the 8'10", it was a little bit rocky, but there was some great size this morning, and I really got to push the 8'10". Man this board is fast!


Then after FD Lunch (an awesome BBQ) I went for a quick paddle in front of my house on the 10' Mana. The more I paddle this board the more I like it. This is me paddling in front of my Fathers boat, guiding him to the moring.


And the Misses joined me for a couple of strokes on the 10' Mana


But the high light was taking Jake (my son) for a cruize. He'll be 2yo in 2 weeks, and he absolutely loves SUP. He calls "Daddy, Daddy, I'm surfing". Then "Go faster" the whole time. This is the 4th time Jake has come paddling with me, and I am looking forward to taking him in the waves soon.






Well I'm stoked with the day, hope all you other dads had as nice a day as I.

Game on bro, breeding the next world champs here!

Did you get some snaps? I always get on Katie back for not snapping when Jake and Jessica come paddling with me, finally got some, so proudly showing the world my little man can SUP.

Hope you had a good one Dog!

JB

Excellent stuff guys. My little bloke is only 7 months old, so still a little on the young side to get on a board but I can't wait to get him out there next year.

The OG family must be still out there, There should be a good line up of pics

Just had a quick spinn through some old pics and found this one from Last year on Fathers day. this is Jessica, she is 2 in this shot.

Great stuff JB.. and great pictures thanks (both you and DogMan).

I was stuck inside at work all day and it was cold/wet and crappy outside.

One thing about Melbourne is that you really appreciate the good days when you get them..

That 10' Mana looked plenty floaty enough for paddling with a kid on board.

Keep up the stoke,

JUst read the thread

It is good to see people sharing this with their family. My kids love to go for a surf or a paddle. The little man has to live with his big sisters lifejacket though.


Second is out of focus


She like to go out on her own.

Nice one Swanie! The sponsors are probably already knocking on your door this morning...........Not only does he rip, but he is a cute kid too!

My 2 year old is addicted sp then went for one by himself. I don't know but he shows promise....


THATS AWESOME!!!! how cute are the kiddies... good to see future waterbabies in the making!

Good eye Casso, GB42. Special edition 1 of 4 built. It was supposed to be a one of a kind for the owner of GB, but when people saw it in the factory there was 3 more sold. It's not really the type of walk through wet type boat, but there is plenty of room on the deck to set up for boards. I've strapped 3 SUP's across the front before with ease, BUt my old man watches like a hawk
