My 7 year old daughter was watching me practice kick turns with my mate last week and she asked me to teach her , to my amazement these shots were taken 10 minutes later , she is on my 9ft surfing mal and it's blowing 15 knots straight up the canal (look at the ears on the dog) and she just nailed them.Bonnie calls them wheelies , her balance just blew me away.I get my new 9-2 PSH next week but i have hurt my shoulder and could be out of the water for awhile so it looks like my 7 year old will get to break it in.

Thanks Oliver and yes I'm one proud Daddy My wife just freaks out about the bull sharks especially when I put the dogs on the boards , yes they are here but I have spent my whole life water skiing and paddleing in these canals and never seen one.My canal is a dead end canal and doesn't hold fish so the chance of a bully coming in is very low. Over the last 20 years there has only been a handful attacks the whole canal system , much less than in the surf but 100's have been caught so yes there is a risk but I'm always close by.Plus she hardly ever falls off

Yeah she has a great feel for the blade in the water , Bonnie really wants to learn and listens really well , her paddle is one my old outrigger paddles cut in half and a carbon ski paddle shaft glue in the middle , I have tried her in the surf once but we got hammered in the shore break and she was instantly over it , so I've pulled back for a while and hopefully by Christmas she'll surfing at Currumbin...no more beach breaks

Rob

Yeah Dogman know what you mean we copped one on the head on the way out and it was all tears ...but after that we were out but we just had to come in or she would never go out again...shortest surf of my life would love to see some shots of your little fella.

Rob

Yeah go the KIDS!!

Thats amazing balance for a 7yo PIROS!

I am going to show these to my son, Daniel who was trying exactly the same trick today, to get him amped. I cant wait to see these kids ripping in the surf!!

Everyone is stoked on surfing with a paddle!!


Look after your shoulder mate - your going to need it Wednesday!

Anaconda have paddles like that for about $18 - $25

Here is what the little girls grow into!
Ours is 16 and all trouble!!!!

Hoping she takes to this sport and we can keep her away from the boys.

She is just starting out and is too cool to try the waves in case someone sees her fall off. Much more important to adjust the bikini bottom than

develop a paddle style!

Here's my little water girl.. My daughter's only 15 but already almost 6' tall.. So not so little afterall..

Casso at first glance I though that last shot of Madison was little girl.......I thought you were reviewing my kids

Great shots , looks like Lachie has a bit of growing to do to fill the legs in his wetty

Rob

Since the kids are getting a run I thought I'd show a cool vid of my son Ryan, he's not on a Sup but uses one sometimes as a cross trainer. He rides my boards exclusively from Noosa Surfworks,.
