Today I got to try Pono Bill's new Ke Nalu paddle.. Well a few of us did.. We were all amazed at how light it was.. I thought it paddled great.. It reminded me of the Quick Blade Race Elite with the dimples.. It was very smooth through the water.. It doesn't have as much grab or bite as my new Kialoa Toro but it was only the small 8" blade.. Shame it was way too short for me (about 12" too short) to really test it or enjoy it.

Here's a vid from today with some nice new Pink Floyd music.

Nice work but you stopped the music just as it got to my favourite Floyd track.

That looks great, so what type of boards do you have for these DWers and where did you guys set of from?

Dave Hunt was on his F18 and he's not in the vid because in no time he was a dot on the horizen..

Most of us had 14' Naish Glides.. Jonathan was on his 14' Starboard Open Ocean.. and Jean was on he 12'6" Starboard Pin.

All SUP shops sell them (down-wind boards) and they often have demo's for you to test paddle.

Jonathan will know what's going on there.. JC is handling it for Bill right now.. I'm not sure what stock they have but they now have the price set for Oz at about $440
