Sorry E.T., too much time on my hands......

Bought my first PSH, a 12' Gun, in January 2017.
No idea what attracted me to the board - I can barely surf, had no idea PSH no longer existed, but something sounded right.
Unusually for me, the board was reasonably local, I could go and check it out.
Collected from Torquay, got it back to my factory.










Liked it a lot. Pretty good condition, I stuck on loops to hold a drink bottle and a camera tether, used it a fair bit as a flatwater board, easier for a quick afternoon paddle that a 17' SIC.
I was a bit challenged by balancing on the board, but got better over time.
Always intended to give it a bit of a tidy up, but other projects got in the way.
As winter gripped Melbourne, it got less use, and was moved to Ventnor at some point and stored in my garage.


After our August trip to Sydney and Merimbula, that 11' Nalu went north for Aloha Hugo to try and buy.


It was a board I really liked, but ended up rarely using after buying an 11'6" Tom Carroll, that became my main surf SUP.
Figured as it was virtually unused, and Hugo wanted one, no harm in letting it go.

But a couple of weeks later, I had the thought "What about my windsurf rig?"
The Nalu was the only board I had with a windsurf insert, so now I had a rig and no board.
This would not seem to have been a huge problem, since I hadn't windsurfed in the 30 years prior to buying a Fanatic Ride rig from Warwick maybe 3 years ago. And 30 years ago, I was not particularly good at windsurfing, occasionally using borrowed boards. The mists of time have obscured weather I ever actually owned a windsurfer, and I doubt I did. But everyone did it.
In the time since I bought the rig, I had tried to use it once, and that time I seriously considered abandoning it in Westernport when I got stuck a few hundred metres offshore in a dying southerly, and had to paddle back dragging the rig.
But a rig and no board - that wouldn't do.

To be continued.....
