Dogman,
Thank heaps for your opinion, since I have been putting up some footage of my kids riding sup I have been getting quite a few emails asking me what boards they ride etc.
The hard thing is 30 -35kg weight does not turn 9ft boards designed for 70+ kg easily and justifing $1000+ for kids SUBs esecially if you have 2,3 or 4 is a big ask.
I am just trying to point the guys emailing me in the right direction and the only small boards I could see on the net were the 7'2 starboards and I knew nothing about them.
I have heard awesome reports about the Shurfshapes boards and particularly the ones Annie and Brooko are riding, and have spoken to Rod Hocker at length and passed his number on to 3 people already and i believe he has the kids board issue sorted.
My girls 10 and 13 are riding Dave Boyd Imperial designs with more bottom shape, spoons and curves than Angelina Jole laughs. Nesha 10yrs can spin the 8'2 on a dime and gets over white wash that should trash her really. Her confidence has grown since she can now see over the top of the wave, I guess its less threatening to a small child.
I am told I need one more SUP for Niki 8 so I need to donate the other kidney to science to fund it!
Nothing better than seeing those girls out there with cheshire cat grins sharing in the passion though!
If your ever down this way Dogman drop in and say HI cold beer and BBQ waiting!
Phill
