My youngest (of 4) is 11 but tiny and has been riding shorties for a few years but has never really gone nuts on it - prefers his Soccer and AFL which he is a freak at

Anyways I got him a soft top of Walk on Water last year cause he kept nagging me about SUP. Then he started using my Green DTM and that was it - totally hooked. Went in our last club comp and is now frothing on SUP.
I heard Sam at WindSurfinSnow had an 8'0" Naish going second hand, so popped in and had a demo. He loved it and thanks to Sam giving us a killer deal to get the grommet into it - massive thanks Sam - we now have a 6th SUP in the garage

Here is some footage from the 1st week of the hols - check out the paddling technique over whitewater - too funny.
Since this session we have had about 10 more surfs - a couple in solid 4-5 foot reef breaks - which is 2 x time plus OH for the little bloke

no footage of that as I have to be out there with him at that size.
