Nothing like introducing a friend into the sport!

He's been a short boarder since he was a featus. Having recently got a new board, I now have two, so lent my "spare" to him, so he could have a go.

In a nutshell, he's now hooked, and he's dragging me out in the most crappy conditions ever! But... I'm loving it. I'd allowed myself to be duped into waiting for those glassy conditions with perfect tide and swell. I'd become one of those guys you see come down to the beach for a look, then leave. Urrgh

It's great to return to the "less than best" conditions, plenty of challenges, excitement and fun to be had. Nothing like the keenness of a fresh grommie!

So.. If you're thinking of walking away from the beach when conditions don't look so good, maybe think again and get out there anyway!

Where are you at? Super stoked.. Seeking perfection.. Time challenged... ????

Yeah sup is so good in all types of conditions , here is an old vid of me riding in some crap conditions windy choppy ect , but i remeber i had a ball , one of the few times ive been at the alley on my own.Actually some of the best surfs ive had with sup have been in crap conditions.

I eat, drink, breath, think, dream and live stand up paddling.
Planning rdos, sickies and excuses to tell to boss 3 days in advance.
It gets in the way of family life.
Hmmm Saturday morning for my sons Auskick game or a SUP surf at my favourate reef break?
SUP!!!

And if your son grows up to become a pole dancer at a drag queen bar because you never went to see his Auskick game?

Teach him to surf. I have really been enjoying going surfing with my young bloke. It is the cycle of surfing. As my boards are getting longer and thicker, his are getting shorter

The Vid looked like a good day, compared to a close out day, where paddling out can be a little tiring!

LOL I used to do that - the 9-5 thing is a slow death, then I negotiated a four day week and couldn't be happier. You pretty much know that at least one of the three days you will get out - last week I scored the trifecta.
