Standing up??? Hah, gotcha that time, admit it. :-)

Yes indeed. Anyone with a paddle in their hand is friend, not foe.

I have asked many times for a "sales pitch" from an enthusiast to help me better understand, and never got anything close to a convincing response until now. Malcolm works miracles - for the first time it sounds appealing (as god knows my abs could use a workout). Just goes to show, on the internet it often fails to ask questions, and when this happens, all you have to do is post a scurrilous falsehood and the "corrections" will rain down in monsoons.

I understand that hulls are different, etc., etc., etc., and surfing always sounded like the best use, but now I think of the workout ... yes, the workout ... oof, the workout ... hmmm, maybe not such a great spiel after all, suddenly I crave a beer and a pillow.

Give me the tippy board that's suitable for experts, please, and I'll tend to learning how to handle it. I prefer to start at the level I mean to play on, it's just how I roll. Sounds like more fun, too.

In the meantime, Mr. S, better stop talking nasty about your "masses." I mean, I hear you and all, but like I said, anyone with a paddle in their hand is friend, not foe. The ones with three 575 hp Mercs hitting every tenth wave are the enemy. Got that? Good.

Seriously, thank you Malcolm - it was a splendid reply!
