Just returned from 10 days in Kota Kinabalu Malaysia where we took
our 2013 Starboard Astro Deluxe 9'x30" inflatable
Had so much fun honing our surf stance & bracing skills in the 25 metre pool, then off to the ocean, a lazy 2 minute walk from the pool to the warm shore line of the south sea of china where 1/2 a metre late breaking waves greeted us.
Being new to SUP surf, this was ideal & the board was great.
I'm 6 months into SUP with mainly river experience & SUP at sea is very different & a hoot.
We caught a few waves & are addicted.

Imagine getting ASI Certification & teaching people in exotic tropical locations :-)
Cheers Chris

Hi Maxeeboy, you have just outlined the true attraction of SUP in its most basic form, great stuff!

Cheers Mottman, the water is now my playground :-)

Homebush Bay? Is your isup glowing red and yellow around the edges? That place used to have some wonderful smells, at least that is what my two-headed dog says.
