I hear your surfin a standup paddleboard now days. I recently thought about doing this on Liberty. Not quite the energy or thrill from riding a foil. But would be a good workout, interesting by myself, or with the dogs out on the lake.
The inflatables sound like the way to go, ie; use a dingy when boat camping, no problem bouncing off rocks or docks, and easy to pack up & take some place else.
Thinking I will go ghetto at first though & convert an old windsurf board. At least till I decide if I want to keep it up.

Any suggestions?

It's getting better...

We made it out this weekend again. Still in dry suits, but I got a couple of sets in plus some time on my new Ronix surfboard. Felt good for an early season ride for sure. BTW, totally unrelated, but I really don't need to see meatloaf singing for an AT&T commercial! One step forward, two steps back...

This Sucks

I'm in Spokane. Super tired of the weather, a record year for the snow, but a sucky spring for riding. I can't wait for it to get warmer out... just venting I guess.

Spring Break at the OWC

Taylor and I hit the OWC twice last week while on spring break in Orlando. We had a blast both days and Tay really stepped it up on the second day trying more and more new things. It was my second time riding there, and also my second time ever trying any kind of rail. Was able to hit three structures consistently, and I felt pretty good about it. I've been working out most of the winter, but man I'm still super sore still.

Surf Expo Part 5 (Nick at OWC, the Last Post)

I got to hit the OWC finally last Friday - I really dug it. I actually hit one of the table tops a couple of times, is wasn't as tough as I thought it might be. I tried to nail the rail that is just off of the start, but the water was rough and I couldn't get my board lined up. Here's a couple shots to check out:
