Very cool!!!!
He's obviously super stoked, and so he should be, he did very well!
Left Dad for dead!
Good paddle technique too, especially seeing the paddle looked to be a bit long for him.

Awesome stuff can't go past a frothing grom!

At the SUP pro Junior this year kids as young as 5 i think entered the races and had a ball.

Candice Appleby and Anthony Vella have a group of super groms in training around Dana Point.

Remember the name Malaya Ring in a few years time!

peterp- what are you doing!!!!!!. the kids too small, too light, too much balance, too much energy.



geez the last thing we needs is groms taking up dw ing.

it's the one place where we can get away from them.

last thing i need is some kid telling me to get off his bump
