After watching Laird and Kai Lenny taking on massive waves in Hawaii I have decided that I need a SUP foil for one ft crowded beach breaks.
I also wanted to visit those out of the way spots that are rarely surfed and to also display my water manliness after many decades in the ocean
And after waiting patiently for it to arrive in the mail here it was
My new Sabrina 6000 SUP Foil.
I decided on the Sabrina 6000 because I wanted a flatter rocker for those dead sections and the razor sharp double edge sword underneath to plough through any debris
Time to saddle up
My first attempt was on a city beach on a long weekend. Waves were 2/3 ft and clean. The crowd was the thickest it's been for a while but I know this spot like the back of my hand
The paddle out was a breeze as the crowd seemed to give some space. They must know I'm local
My first wave was interesting as I had to really dig in with my broom stick and hook my front foot in the strap. As it was crowded with damn short boarders I collided with some kids paddling out. No damage done to the Sabrina 6000 though. Just a bit of fibreglass in the foil.
Second wave I seemed to slice through some more fiber glass but again no damage to the SUP foil.
I fell off numerous times and got yelled at a fair bit but the ocean is for everyone as I told them
Can't wait for tomorrow for round two
Bit of a vibe in the water today but I was definitely the best surfer out there because I was having the most fun.
Happy Sea sweeping everyone

I'm sure you'll be visiting my local in the near future. I look forward to watching you carve it up.

My local you'd more than likely hit the bottom

The worst thing about this post is that I can only like it once!

Bravo Sir!
