Just finished putting an extra roofrack on the canopy of the dualcab so i can get the board around.
Count me in for the morning run.
I can bring the 12' glide also if anyone is wanting to give it a go but don't have a bigger board.

I might call on you for the 12'6 Belly, otherwise I don't think the 11'2 will keep up.

Not epic but fun found the 14s niche it loves the river even thought I might have a chance against belly lol

thanks for making the effort guys. Nice to finally meet zimbo and have a decent paddle with jenkz.

Interesting range of boards glides 14 and 17 dc 16 and the sb pin??

Too easy mate Will look at weather tonight to 100% confirm if the winds are still ok for tomorrow..

The paddle today was quite fun.. We left in pooring rain and not much wind but it quickly picked up and we had a good 4 or 5kms of great little runners.. Little did Hilly and I know we were heading way off course And had to paddle about a km back in side winds.. Luckly for us the wind dropped makeing it fairly easy.. The runners were small but you could stay on them for so long it was great.. Out of the 4 boards on the water DC16, Naish 17, starboard pin and naish 14, The 14 was the clear winner IMO it just fitted perfectly into the runners looked awsome..

Anyways here is a couple of pics for those who are interested..
