Thats cool Sammy!
How good does it feel when you see your kids enjoy doing something that you like to do.

That boy needs a longer paddle.. .. Great pics.

I once bought a cheap double ended kayak paddle and cut one blade off and put a T grip on and although way too short for me it's perfect for kids.

That might work for you.

Nice one dogman...Looks like a pretty nice technique already.

Only problem I have now is that after his sisters seen him doing it they have come down every time since and pestered us for a turn. Now I'm looking into 3 more paddles, thats mainly why I wanted an adjustable one. Like you say DJ I can pick up some cheapies and modify them.

Anyone come across companies doing Junior boards at all. I hear starboard do a 7 footer. I'm going to have to get 2 boards as the wife is also keen to have a go when it warms up. 1 board between 5 means alot of standing around on the beach. I'm thinking of maybe getting the 9'8 and 11'2 starboard quiver, but don't want to get rid of the Jimmy Lewis as it is such a good board.

Anyway keep the family pic's coming.

Cheers Sam
