I was out for a paddle at Newport Reef (Syd. N Beaches) this morning and out paddles Simon Anderson and a coupla' mates. He looked to be on one of his new designs.
Was pretty stoked to be out there paddling with a surfing legend-he rips on a SUP too.
There looked to be a couple of photographers on the beach with him-so you may see some photos turn up.
Disclosure: I own dozens of thrusters.
We were playing on a few boards, 9.0 x 32 custom, 96 x 30, 10.0 x 32, 106 x 30 custom, and 11.0 custom. Will post a few piccies later :-). Waves and conditions actually improved quite a bit as the tide rolled out.
He dropped in on me a couple of times about 25 years ago out at Monawatu.. i have a vivid memory of when respected people drop in on you.. He was there when i was picking my new board up on saturday and i gave him a little ribbing about it Mind you after living at whaley for about 6 years. i have been dropped in on by the best of them. I always found it was the little unknown wannabe pros who were the worst..
I just put a review up on it..
A few piccies as promised. Will put the others on website in the next few days.
;-)
Thanks for the pics.. Nice looking boards.. I'm looking forward to checking them out at the Mambo this year.
