Kids surf again for me,my 10 year old has now progressed from a 7`4" bic to a 5` 9" al merrick flyer. I bet him £5 and the board (picked it up for £90) that he couldnt paddle into a wave on it and stand up, three goes laetr i was £5 down and less a board.Due to the kids surfing i have done what i always claimed i never would and bought a longboard, it means i can surf with them when its small rather than just swimming around with them. have not seen it yet and all i know is is £180 and 9 foot long.If its shit i can always cut it in two and makee a couple of kids boards.
can't wait till I can take the boy surfing (assuming he'll want to..)
There's an amazing clip of Ryan whatisname doing the rounds on Facebook from Cloudbreak on Wednesday.
If you want to paddle surely a canoe would be more practical
