New toy????
shem - 19-2-2008 at 18:29

Im very tempted to buy a SUP, (stand up paddle) Surf board. having surfed long boards for over 15 years now, it seems like a fun option for small summer surf and more. The naish model also has a mast foot, so I could fit a sail and get out and do a bit of estuary pole surfing probably in winds as light as 5-8 knots,( quote me if Im wrong al). With it being 11 and a half foot long, itd get you out there surfing, kiting and wind surfing in the tamest summer conditions, as well as being good exercise.

Hhmmmmm

Nice col, very sweet. Id love to come do one, but I just dont haVE THE TIME TO COMMIT TO GOING OFF DOIN IT FOR THE DAY.(oops prest caps lock again). If I get rid of my great big honkin 2 stroke and get a nice electric start enduro Ill probably do one though. Its hard convincing the missis that I need a road bike, a motoxer and a pick up, let alone chnging the xer for a newer one! Such stress!!!!!
