Well I feel like a jack ass..just run my paddle over ,I had a phone call while packing up near a Tree with long grass
and through the board on ,then drove over my paddle ,being brown I thought it was a stick ,it went crunch on the front wheel then crunch on the rear wheel ..after turning ...so two 265 bloody cracks on both sides...one near the handle the other near the blade ...I will fix it ...

after driving over it I looked down and realised my paddle was not near me and broke out in some filthy language ..

shall I wrap the carbon cloth right around it or just on the cracks ??

Ouch, don't ya hate it when that happens, did that with a surf board many many years ago!!!

I've just had to have 3 coronas to settle down Dave ...

looks like I will have to wrap it around ..the cracks are not a lined ......

it will end up a stiffer paddle now ...so will look for another .

Taped off ...marked off ..so you can see two 265 cracks ... Got to fix. Tonight as the surf is pumping tomorrow .

Carbon on .

Damn......hate it when sh17 like this happens . Maybe better to have an ouzo

Lol, have a couple more it will look better the more you drink?? I painted a fence with a mate once after a few beers and he had to repaint the lot a week later! At the time we thought we had done a great job, until his wife came home that is!!!

It happens every full moon ....I go a bit stupid ...the fence ,maybe that undercoat that you put on will help .

Self present or from someone, most expensive present I ever got was a coffee machine so I can make my wife coffees

Ha! Indeed Mick - self present mate. It'll be good to get Marlow out on - at least that was the story for the wife one...

funny you mention it - I got her a coffee machine..

Hi MD,

So you went for the 9.2 Flow...... excellent choice!

Will turn nicely from the middle too and give you a different experience to your Style.

Well played.

Cheers

Hey Gambler - good to hear from you mate.
Yeah - went the Flow - it was at a price I couldn't say no to.
Was keen for the Creek but that'll have to wait.
Soo stoke with the Flow though - we've got a bit of swell pushing through at the mo' with some monsoonal low pressure so I'm kicking back now with a couple of frosties and will be out for the dawny tomorrow. Hope al's well in the Gambler's neck o' the woods!
Yeeew!!!
