My third downwinder with the melb crew...just seems to be more fun each time. Can't stress enough what a great and friendly bunch of guys and girls this group are. Plenty of advice always helps too. I kinda strayed off a bit out to sea and didnt get too much footage of everyone...ill have to stay closer on the next one. Thanks guys



Cheers

Thanks SandS, it was an awesome paddle. Basically the ace is my first sup so I can't compare to other boards. Don't really know any different. Feel I'm getting more relaxed on the ace as I paddle more and more...it is a wild ride though. You can never really trully relax. PT woody once described the ride on an ace to me as "...like riding a wild horse, it's exciting, it's fast and furious and you are always on the edge. A board like a naish glide or similar is more of a zen like experience". After a few months on the ace I totally agree with him.

DJ I did feel like I was strapped to a rocket at times...such a rush being on the edge and a little out of control. The acceleration down some of those waves blew my mind. I want more...

Looking at others paddling in both our vids makes me wonder if my paddle is too short. Any thoughts out there appreciated...

Cheers
