After slogging myself for 4 hours over 28kms on a cruiser in the recent Dr race my wife agreed that I needed a real race board for this sort of thing. After meeting up with Dale Chapman I found what I think is the perfect board for me. I was after something stable as I felt that you can have the fastest board around but if you are always in the drink you don't go so well. Also over long distances, constantly getting back onto your board was the most tiring part of the past 2 Dr races.
This board is 30" wide so super stable. Dale was a great help in giving me advice on boards and shapes as this is something that I know very little about. As this is my first race board, I can't wait to spend plenty of time with it in the water and for me I think the sport of stand up paddling and down winding is about to become a lot more fun
Having trouble uploading pics so will try again soon.
