Interesting timing to see this...
I was out on the point at Lennox(on my SB) on the weekend just gone-it was small but fun and not a lot of the regular crew in the water
Out paddles this young fella with a SUP and my first thought was "I hope he knows what he is doing with this thing..."
Turns out it was Kai on a 7"3 that even he couldn't stop paddling on or it would sink!!
Had a bit of a yak about plonking around on my prowave on small days etc
Needless to say he soon answered my question about knowing what he was doing...
