Hmmmm well the smile says it all!

I have to say this was pretty special, the day really reflected the true Spirit of SUP. I think everyone got real value out of the board swap, Niki got a truely awesome board, lacey gote a real challenge to play with, Dale absolutely go to show off his work and we all hadta great lunch ar growlers.

Dale left me with a Demo 9'4 that looks very sweet I will find out tomorrow.

PM me if you would like to take it out for a session.

I have to say I am also offering Niki a rental agreement but apparently I am 3rd in line

Me thinks this baby might just prone surf pretty well.

Note to others second board is a "Homer Board" works the kids as a sup and you as a big fish.

As if it wasnt hard enough to get waves at OG with Kristi and Nesha paddling rings around me.....now theres gonna be three of them . Look forward to seeing Nikki ripping it up soon (and maybe I can sneak a go on the 9'4").

Revvin Kevin (as Nikki says...and half of OG now...thanks to Nikki and Phil)

Hey Revin Kevin HA HA HA,

Get the brownie points up, the 9'4 is yours for a rip session on Sat or Sun, but you better book a time as I have 4 on the list so far and its only been here a few hours

Hey Mr Dogman,

We are gonna wax it up tomorrow and take it out for the launching after school. I have found some clear sea through grip in the states and I am negotiating to get it here without having to sell our home for the freight.

That I think is the real answer

yeah, it was a cracker of a day.you look at the ocean just across the road and you swear boardies and long sleeve 2mm vest would do it, i was assured that is not the case

Hey Lacey, did you get a chance to run down and stick a few toes in the Vicco ocean water just for sample and future reference,

Camo.

The Steak sandwich was pretty damn good I must say.

They must have spiked the lemon lime and bitters as I remeber talk of surfing in boardies and rashies.

Or maybe I did really fall asleep

Hey Dogman Pics as requested.

The DC is very different to the Starboard 7.2 so we went back to the Barwon River to practice the basics.

Niki can paddle the DC 8 much faster than the 7.2 so will be able to get onto the wave much easier.

We practiced kick turns and thats when the small board really came into its own and she really got the hang of it towards the end.

The board is easy for Niki to carry at under 5.9kg


The Barwon is a really great place to train.

Thanks again to Dale and Lacey you guys put that smile on Nikis Dial

Sammy J, the board Niki was riding was much wider at 30 inches so we are having to work hard in stability with the 25 wide one but she got down pat by the end.

We are waiting for some fun 1 footers so she can have a go in the surf.

its currently 3 - 4 solid and she is only 8.

Clear Grip is on the way,

and it is a thruster.

What's the history, has she gone from 7ft starboard or similiar. Not much out there for kids so custom would be a good option, shaper would of had fun. Like a surfboard on steriods.

Not sure if my design inspired her then she's definately upp'ed the ante' I love it, does he do his own spray's.

Sammy J ask Lacey he will know.

The spray is off the hook.
