Waking up to a very ordinary surf report first thing in the morning, & varifying this by wave buoy & coast cameras. Then checking the sea from the lookout it did seem like a paddle only was on offer.
Being a sunny day & I was very enthusiastic to try a new board, I decided to see how it floated & paddled at least.
But to my pleasant surprise I found 2' clean waves peeling for 150 meters & not a person to be seen......





ps.....the board rips

The board I was busting to try was the 9' x 27"...it weighs 6kg. I have been playing around with ideas to make boards lighter/cheaper, the light weight makes the board very agile in small waves.

LOve the crowd Dean, Sunnier than the sunshine coast has been and heaps less people. There are good things about cold water.
Have you got a picture of the board??

Another crisp 8 degree morning, & no surf....so they say.....unless you SUP
The board featured is the 7'10" x 31" .........a new design for me, a new approach to riding, it just continues the "stoke" in the sport of SUP
It weighs 6.5 kg, the lack of weight allows very fast changes in direction on small waves.
Swell is slowly building, so a bit more R & D tommorrow
