Hey mate.....yep, car damage sux - it's a one piece grill / bumper so will costalotta to fix no doubt.....felt crap after killing wildlife too.
I went back post surf and buried it.
The paddle is unreal - The Naish carbon / glass paddle is big for sure but feels great in the surf - I picked up the new carbon / glass one too - for the money, it has to be the best on the market for sure at $200 odd....light as with the new T grip.
Glad you liked the vid - maybe boring for some but after 20 years of chasing waves, I'm just enjoying the peace of the paddle in my surrounds.
