Thats a Mothers Day death sentence for me if I was to go.
Will go next week if the winds are in, the 17' turns up this week.
Wind looks good for it. Sorry I can't joing you, work's getting in the way of play time again
Would love to Belly but as previously mentioned would be a mothers day death sentence.
maybe some other time
WEAK haha no worrys guys figured that would be the case for most but no harm in asking 
Ive worked up more the enough brownie point in the last 2 days moving old broken furniture from one house to the next..
Might even head down south for next couple of days...swell looking good
Enjoy Mothers Day
Belly
Cant wait for your 17 to get here too luke hope for some wind in the right direction next week so we can get out
even better...
Wow i really suck at taking pictures Have a look at the picture qualitly between the two different photographers.. Sorry Hilly i will try to do better next time..
Had heaps of fun but Cheers for the beers...my buy next time..

Hey guys you should look in to getting some coiled leashes so you dont get so much drag off those long leggies.. Balin do a good one and i just seen a better one from pro lite. If you go for the balin then try to get the straight part of the leggie shorter as the one they sell of the shelf is a tad to long still for a 14ft board but good for a 17ft board. One more tip is to put the leggie on the leg that stays at the front of the board so when you step back to surf a runner your leg rope does not drag!!

no steering dramas meant he had to stop and wait for me as I flopped on and off the board.
about the best route in Perth for a ssw wind IMHO, nice length at about 12k took us 80mins with stops for photos, watching dolphins and me falling off.
Looked like a good day for a DW
Thanks for the pics
Belly the DC 16' board looks the goods
I was planning on getting a coil leash but there not really easy to come by in perth...Im going to email Balin and try get one direct..... And also like hilly said i think this is the best run metro for sure..
Hey Belly,
It's really good to see that board in the water again. She really likes it out there and the bigger the better for that one.
I know you will take good care of her. Keep sending us posts of your runs. If you take some video footage we might be able to offer any additional hints on how to get the most out of your new toy. Try get from side on with the main focus on the front half of the board.
Cheers - Mike

You can see how well the Balin half coiled half straight SUP leash works in this vid of Pete on his Naish 14.
The early ones were a bit long but the new ones have 1 meter (40") of straight and it seems just perfect for my 14' and 17' Glides.. and most other boards.
