after pickng up my new fanatic Fly 10' I decided to take it down the river for its mayden voyage!!! was awesome!!!! money well spent in my opinion

The amount of fish in my local river was amazing!!! had 3 jump over my board and one barely miss my leg. Ill take a scoop next time!
Along with the one rather large bastard that jumped out of the water right behind me making a very large and loud splash reminding me of that doco I saw on Discovery about Bullsharks that live in fresh water streams

. . . . . . made me paddle quicker needless to say LOL
I can see were people are coming from when they make fun of SUP'ers (i was one of them) but after trying it out and forking out the hard earned for my own board im so glad I did!
Cheers guys, see ya out there
