the local surf shop owner let me take a 9'5" x 31" Naish Mana out today and keep for the night!

Was the first time ive ever paddled and although it made me realise how unfit I am (beers with fish n chips for lunch directly before didnt help) it was quite fun! Only fell in a few times lol

Its awesome isn't it?! I'm also a noob - been out a few times now and caught my first wave. I haven't fallen in yet, but I have had to drop to my knees a few times, making me look like I am following some religious right of passage or something! LOL

I know there are alot of other boards out there and some would make a different choice to me BUT it will suit what I want to do with it for now and thats some flat water river cruising. Well, untill im good enough to venture out into the surf anyways. Plus when that day comes and I want a new board to handle the surf, the missus will be able to use Fly quite comfortably so that will be cool too!
