Well done Dave.
Good to see but wear a hat!!!!

Thanks for sharing your Stoke Dave.

A couple of points if I may:
1. You appear to be standing too far back on your board. Toes should be roughly in line with the carry handle to start with. As you paddle faster and become more comfortable experiment with different feet positions.
2. Your paddle looks too short for what you are doing. Though it could be the photo angle. Should be somewhere between 8" & 10" above your head to start with and get comfortable.

Not being critical, however paddle length and stance can make a big difference to your enjoyment.

Nice board to start with too.
Cheers.

Good on you Dave . I often do the paddle from Elwood to Brighton Yacht Club, it's my favourite flat water paddle on the bay.
if you whack on a pair of polarised sunnies it adds a whole new dimension, as the water is normally really clear and you are able to check out the under-water world as you cruise along.
You often see heaps of interesting critters!
Enjoy!

Good work Dave. Keep it up mate. Won't be long and we'll see photos of you pulling in to big barrels!!

Well maybe not barrels but a few smaller waves would be a good progression soon!

Thanks ET, yes I was too far back I stopped a few seconds after this was taken to move forward and I will check my paddle next time to see what I had it on?
love my board but it's so nice to look at I keep looking at it, lol
