I remember Dave winning one, that's why I asked as it'd be good to support Pete or even SurfFx another proactive Qld shop

Honestly Suping doesn't float my boat but a sup I can wack my 5.9 no cam onto would be a good compromise, I might even get my wife back into sailing, ah the possibilities I just checked SFX and the JP Windsurf Sup looks ok, no hurry still a couple of months with stingers.


Hey firie, I had a go on a couple of the sups, and like you they're not my thing, but the *board k15 sup, which is a round keel design and can take a rig was really nice to paddle as it had so much more glide and easy to keep going . It was a bit more tippy but for me, alot more enjoyable than the flat ones. If you could get into some surf maybe a surf model would be fun too, but again harder to paddle.

Yes I was the Lucky winner two years back and picked up the 9'8" Sup
Love it, ride it mostly in small waves and I'm getting better at surfing it.
Great board and a fantastic finish ! Pete does a good job on the boards.

this time I was looking for something second-hand and a bit lighter, found a 9' JP board, which is aimed at Kids (groms), very light, which means Gloria can carry it from the house to the Lake when I'm not around to help... she loves paddling right now.
Pete's boards are light and stiff, this one is just a bit lighter still, great for the "little Girl"
SUP's are addictive "use with caution"

Thanks guys, no waves here so something easy for the wife to paddle early mornings and cruise in a light breeze with a sail, no hurry

Will talk soon Phil, you should drag Snags up here mid year
