We had a great day today down at The Pines and I got to use my new bamboo Mana in the waves and also give the new cheaper Kialoa a good test.. I was a bit late getting there (due to voting) and was undecided if I would even go out once I realized that I only had my short armed wetsuit.. It was cold and windy and I watched as Cam, Brendan and Mike caught waves outside a huge pack of surfers.. Then a couple of guys rolled up with 10' Mana's on the roof or their van and I hopped out of my car to say hi.. Thought jeez this is like team Naish.. .. I can't let the team down so I pulled on my wetsuit and joined them.. Paddling out I could see Cam paddling up to the next break where there was no one else out.. I thought good move Cam and I set off after him.. We had the place to ourselves.. Great waves.. and after a while I see all the other SUP'er paddling over to join us.. Including Oliver.. We had a great session.. Cam took some pics out on the water and I hope he posts a few of our party waves..

I took a few pics once back at the cars and here they are.
