Yeah, something like that Tightlines
Thanks for the offer Ozzie but all good.
After a few sessions with the missus paddle which was stretching to reach the chin hairs, invested in a new paddle which was well overdue and a bit more upmarket than the one I had. Galvo and Cam's shop sorted me out with a new one and had a good surf today with it. Someone broke into their shop last night, cleaning up glass when I walked in - pity there is no respect for other people's gear.

Couldn't wait for that bit of driftwood to return from the "Land of Sunshine"...........rockmagnet but thanks anyways
