just got into the sport and bought my first board,contacted the guys from eastcoast sup from the shire in sydney and went down to demo a few boards and bought the coreban cruiser,rapt with the board started to clock up the k's to get used to the board and get my paddling tech right,i'm totally hook and can't wait to get back out on the water again
If you bought from Lou and Pete, you are probably close to the shire, when your ready to expand to little surf, if so come down to the bay (Bonnie Vale) most weekends you will find a bunch of SUPs out on the bay me included. Its a great place to learn to catch the little runners and right waves that break about low tide.
