OK, so where do I get a board for this?

No point starting with a new board at full retail price. Check the second-hand market. Some SUP riders buy boards too small for them and sell it to buy a bigger one. Some teenagers outgrow there SUPs. So there are quite a few out there.

One place to buy boards in Australia is Seabreeze.com.au
Here is a link to the site and a search of NSW with the boards listed from short to long.

Let us know if you know of other makers that make suitable boards.

Seven years

This blog started seven years ago. In that time I have never seen or heard from anyone who surfs like I do. So if you do something unfashionable in the pursuit of catching waves let us know.
