Trains and Boats and Planes.......

[WenikiTiki]

Today I took a long lunch and I went to spend my bonus money (I did get it, it was called an "INCENTIVE" award)at a SUP place. I told the guy which board I liked, told him about my current board, told him about some other boards I had ridden..... and he picked out a completely different board than I would have picked. Less money, too.

I decided he does that for a living, and I went with his pick. The end of the year sale was great, he threw in a rash guard, some cool decals for my car, and the leash. He suggested I wait on a new paddle, because the board height is different.

So I got off work and went down to Hickam Harbor. Got out on the water and the new board was all that and more. I was able to spend WAY more time standing up. The wind picked up at the end and I did sit down. But it was pretty amazing. Huge difference between the boards. My old one is still good for super flat days and for actually surfing. Which I am not really good at. I don't catch waves, they catch me!
