! The Hull Paddler I bought is an amazing board
. I can't wait to try the "HR" as the improvement from the paddler has taken me up to about 60% of my potential. They maybe very easy to paddle and ride but are definitely not just for beginners. I've been sup/surfing for around 3 years now and have owned and tried quite a few boards. The stability yet looseness of these boards is awesome
. I do however feel that a little less width such as the 'HR' provides could make this type of design the new benchmark! I don't know why I'm saying this, but I have no affiliations with anyone! (I'd Like to if you're reading this Blane
) this is just a personal observation. A guy and his wife came up to me yesterday after a fairly bumpy but still productive session at Lorne in Vicco, and heaped praise upon my surfing
. They said they had watched me for about an hour and a half! I laughed out loud in their faces in embarrassment, then apologised and said you should see what the good guys can do. But they were hooked, you could see it in their eyes. I expained that it takes a lot of flatwater paddling before you go surfing and then start off small, very small. Sorry I digress. Where the hell are the Hull Rippers
