After a long thread a few weeks back I finally go the answer today!
This morning I had one of the deeper mysteries of Paddle Surfing resolved!
The couple I was taught this morning were chalk and cheese, SHE was comfortably cruising up and down the beach whist HE was, shall we say - 'struggling'.
So I raised the inevitible topic of how women seem to be so natural at Paddle Surfing and the direct answer was - its my heels! "I spend so much time at work balancing on my high heels, that this makes the whole balancing thing a breeze".
I have yet to find a more direct and logical explanation to one of Paddle Surfings deeper mysteries.
As I don't have a picture of my couple from this morning, here is a pic of
Felicity Urquhart from Ch7's Synday Weekend who came down recently to enjoy the splenders of Balmoral Beach and the joys of Paddle surfing ( I love my job!

)
I love my job!
