No clip.....Ok so we're saying there is no such thing as middle aged blokes ripping? We can only keep trying and recant those tales of days gone by...'the older I get the better I was'

Vague reference to the Laird Hamilton vid of eight or so years ago ?

Middle Ages:
noun
The period of European history from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West - 476 AD
to the fall of Constantinople in the East - 1453 AD

I am now officially in the Dark Ages, so no help from me

I just typed in -- youtube.stand up paddle board maneuvers and tricks -- first one to come up -- It is old but I had not seen it before
sep 10 2011. --- middle age goes from 50 to whenever you feel like you have grown out of it -- I feel middle aged at 68 ( till I go to the chiropractor after another rush of blood barrel in the shore break!)

That is a really fun vid... he's killing it on a big wide, old school board.

Killing it!

Laird 10' 6" at beach break - great for speed but I am not quick enuff to get back for turns in fast waves - waiting for " blue planet - fish and chips" to hopefully surf somewhat like the bloke in the video - he has come closest to my ideal surf session

Learn to cross step.
Being able to take two quick little steps complete changes the way you can ride a long sup.
Coming from a shortboard background it's a new skill that I'm having to pickup to navigate a sup in and around the reef breaks here. Really enjoying the feeling.
