Your not doing it justice, there was a 5cm wave hitting Shearwater beach at 330 yesterday. Perfect

I went for a windsurf at Picanniny Point (just north of Bicheno). Just enough wind to go for a slow little sail I thought. Unfortunately the wind left me just as I got near the last set of breakers and I now have a 4 piece mast, two piece sail and broken mast foot. Can't wait until I get my new board!!! (got sent Friday).

Nice 3ft swell of bakers front beach today,headed out on the jet ski with James and did a bit of tow in on the wake board then stated to slingshot,let go of the rope and hit the waves...so close to nailing a back flip. At least some thing to do with out the wind involved.

Great fun Izaak. I got into a bit of wakeboarding years ago with a few mates, had a ball until the knees got a flogging landing tantrums(heal side backflips) Later I bought a jetski(yami 1200) and we had a absolute ball doing exactly what you've been doing; until we got carried away and ended up at Shipstern towing in. We(Myself and Brook Phillips, the guy that won the international wipeout comp a few years back) beet Ross Clark Jones and Morice Cole by 10 minutes to be the first tow ins at Shipterns
Sorry! couldnt help myself reminising about days goneby

Yes very good fun,we did a few runs down the sandbar doing (80km) and you just dont realise how quick it feels on a jet ski compared to doing that windsurfing. It's amazing how much slower you go on glassy water,with a slight ripple ive had the jet ski over 100km+ today. Had another crack in the glassy water and barley got 85km, it must bog and stick to the water. Any way now to 360 air the knee board and get on a air chair (hydrofoil)....

Izaak those photo's look beautiful, mirror calm, peaceful, relaxing.....ooopps I'm showing my age, love to be out on my surf ski in those waters. Yes I remember the days I used to get depressed because there was no wind (back in my younger years). Over that now, just enjoying what ever the weather sends our way, so many other things to do when there's no wind.

Absolutely typical, bloody clubby gym junkies! Mirror calm/Great for the 'Surf Ski in those waters'.
Next thing they'll be holding a Surf Boat race in the Derwent River, Oh! they already do
Maybe they should be called paddle ski and row boats[}:)]

Buzzy surf ski paddling is becoming one of the most popular watersports in the world.Great doing it when the wind is not blowing.Good to do something rather than nothing
Working out in the gym is another positive thing we can do
Enjoy the stoke

I've had enough of this continual stirring, I give up! Happy paddling, happy gyming happy whatever. I just need more time, money and motivation and Id be having a go as well.
Planning on going to the gym at least one night a week as soon as I get some new shoes, but will start with swimming until then.
Stand up paddling is a great cross training sport and guess what they're call Stand up Paddle Boards but I take mine in the waves all the time and actually Surf them.
I am yet to see anyone Surfing their ski but I do see alot paddling past behind the waves. Ooops I've done it again, must be my new Red neck Heeler dog rubbing off

Oh cmon I was trying to sound like I know about this fitness stuff. Apparently using a Wii is also a form of cross training, its cheeper than going to the gym and its actually got more real people in it.
