A couple of photos of my new Hobie 7'11" CM Ultimate. Last year's model however the price was right. A big step down from 153 litres to 105. A bit tippy however I didn't want to feel too comfortable on it just yet. Early days but it turns on a dime and is really fun. A big thanks to Robbie & Simone who generously let me demo their own 7'11" and 8'4" Hobies prior to purchasing.

Also, just like to say thanks to a great bunch of SUPPERS down at Ulladulla on the weekend. Plenty of stoke and waves shared. Even Kai Bates made a cameo on his new Fanatic and yes he made us all look very ordinary.
