Haha yea should have picked safe friends instead of my die hard stoners
So a 7-8 foot board and stick in the whitewater? i like it
thanks mate
Yeah, 7-8ft is a great size to get the handle of it, but if ya can paddle out the back safely, I’d definitely try and stay out of the white wash!!!!!
It is harder to stand up in broken water, than it is on the face of an unbroken wave!!!!! Once ya up, the white wash is easier to handle, but still harder than the unbroken face of a wave!!!!! Plus the fact that ya will burn up copious amounts of energy paddlin around in the white wash, whereas ya can get a breather out the back in between waves!!!!!
Look for a “fatter” wave, as opposed to one that is “dumping”, this way it not only gives ya time to get to ya feet (do this in one move - ie no knees on the way up), but it can also provide a little face at the bottom of the wave to keep ya ridin!!!!!
Yeah, stay off the bongs until ya come in!!!!!
Hope this helps?????
haha yea bigger and wider should be easier
and stay out of the already broken waves? sweet
hahahah lets just say not all of the smoke in our camp will be from the fire
