for the record, i have my urges to shortboard again, do it for a couple of weeks, then lose interest. so these days sup surf, but my main interest is dw winding which everybody should be doing- surfing the ocean.
there actually a fair few blokes around the traps that are avid shortboards, don't surf sups, but are into dw ing.
then you have a guy like parko getting into paddle boards and is doing a molokai team race
the boys in the lb forum are trying to get me lb ing, but i can't quite bring myself to do it yet

cheers
