You Cannot Be Serious!

Do you know the best thing about weddings (not including the wedding night)?
No, it’s not when it’s over, it’s the presents! If Anne reads this please note it is tongue in cheek!

My long time boss and good friend Jeffrey Henderson just gave us a very early wedding present. Anne and I are both agreed it was worth getting married already (even though we actually haven’t).

Tonight I added two 2x2 pieces of lumber to my board rack and secured them with four screws. This is highly significant as you will see in the photo of the rack below:



Notice an odd one out? Yes we got a SUP!!!!!
I have not been this excited since I got my first shortboard! This is an amazing gift and Anne and I are very thankful. It is certainly the best wedding present we will get so I guess it’s all downhill from here.

Why am I so excited? This is the most versatile piece of kit I have ever had. We can:

Surf
Stand-up-paddle
Tandem surf
Learn to Windsurf
Windsurf on light days
Go on long exploratory sails
Windfish (this will happen a lot!)
Whale-watch platform
Generally enjoy life!

What a brilliant gift!

Thanks Jeff.
