Big swell hitting WA. I reckon it' going to be a field day for paddle suppliers in the land of lost paddles.

Snapped a leg rope in the impact zone board went bye byes, swam for a bit with the paddle decided to ditch it as it was all getting to hard when I heard a voice in the distance that they had my board.

Thanks to the Surfer and Sup'r at Sharkies this morn who did there best and dug me out of the **** grabbing my board

Yep I'd just let it go when I got the shout

Haven't worn that many +2x head sets on the head for a quite a while and found out how much of a pain in the freckle swimming with a paddle is.

Got a new Leggy yesterday.

Armed with Benders SUP swimming tips (thanks Ben) should be ready to Kook it up again this weekend (once I've finished my work)

We didn't miss out down here

I feel your pain elmo. Mate and I both snapped leggies (his went first and mine on the following wave!) last night out back of a local (Vic) beach break. Swam a good 60m with paddle and got within arms length of board before it got taken all the way to the beach. Another 100m swim in overhead shore-breakers before getting to board.
