Your Honour, if I may address the court.
As previously mentioned, and reiterated my Mac, my work schedule is at it's busiest in the 3 months leading up to Xmas. I thoroughly enjoyed my first surf in 17 years just last month. As I have increased my body weight by approx 25 kgs within this 17 year absence, I found the movement of 'popping up' at the takeoff very poor to the point of non-existent - hence the face plant on my first and only wave during that session.
Your Honour, it was blatantly obvious to myself that a decrease in body weight was required to improve my comeback to surfing. Naturally, exercise will play a huge part in the weight loss and I solemnly believe a continuation of my 666ing would be the key. My current 666 is a touring board and I am due for an upgrade to a race 666. I recently made contact with a 666 shop over northside with enquiries about a pre-loved 666 and plan to inspect and possibly purchase this board next Tuesday. If it would satisfy the court Your Honour, I would like to mention the fact that I am finding it difficult to discuss the purchase of yet another 666 to my wife considering I purchased a pre-loved LB just last month.
In summary, the purchase of another 666 is to aid with my comeback to regular surfing.
