Yesterday I took my 17' Glide for a spin through the city on the Yarra river and under the many bridges from one end to the other.

The river is in flood and filthy from all the rain that we've had in past weeks.. It's still a good paddle with lots of people waving as you paddle past them.

Nice work DJ.

I paddled my Fanatic 12'6" in the putrid waters of Elwood after work. My board got coated in all manner of indescribable gunk. The rain has really dirtied the bay.

Whilst I didn't have people waving at me, I did notice a personal trainer who was taking a session, checking out my sup [not me, I hope!] He probably figured it had a lot more merit than crawling around on your hands and knees head-butting a medicine ball

Will watch the vid at home tonite as it's blocked at work but I'm hanging to do a Yarra run in December when I'm down - the 17' just has an air of authority to it doesn't it DJ ?

Love it.

Hopefully you'll have time for two Yarra runs as you really need to do the boathouse section with the bats as well as the city section.

Good work bro.

Isn't it a warm fuzzy feeling to contribute positively ?

Let's just have a laugh together.

Yeah.. It's like cruising in a big stretch limo..

I heard someone say that the 17' Glide is like a surfboard for a superhero..

It's such a cool board.
