Yep, hopefully will be able to stand up on it by then.Are you bringing it Lenny? I fancy a shot on one of those.
I would like a go at SUP too, I have been trying to book some lessons. I figure a wetsuit is going to be all important to start with as I cannot imagine standing on it is going to come naturally. These beginner boards, what sort of size are they please? or are they inflatable therefore deflatable for transporting?
Thanks for sorting out the extra numbers. Is it really 3 years since we chatted at Saarburg?
Yep my one is an inflatable my one is 10'6" x 32", general purpose beginners board. OK up to about 90kg although they do say its OK for a quite a bit more. I think they are a bit harder to balance on than a solid board and harder to get back on. Should be easier on flat water.
Gosh quite possibly Mike
Thank you for that info. Should be able to book in for my lessons soon which will be on flat water so I hope that means I will be in with a chance of staying on !
Lessons, that's posh, I just get on and fall off. Managed to break my centre fin first time out, a big wave dumped me on the beach.
I never thought of it as posh but at £20 cheaper to have an introduction taster than buying a board then deciding I don’t like it/can’t do it
Blagged a new fin of the supplier & they are fairly standard only £10 to buy so I've bought a spare as well.
You are not bringing that old thing out again? It must be a health hazard by now. I am surprised Di allows you to still keep

I will post a bit closer to the time all payment details, the show-ground don't want to take everybody's payment to then have to refund if the rules change again.
I will be selling tickets for this on the dayIs there a list for people to watch all these paddle boarders going face first into the water.
(I would be happy to provide said entertainment if someone lends me use of a board
I will definitely loan you a board to see that!Is there a list for people to watch all these paddle boarders going face first into the water.

High would be good Jon we will get down from Montford bridge a bit easier, as for low it seems pretty deep where the little beach is, or it did when I was hanging upside down in Andy's kayak.As a lifelong resident of Shrewsbury I would just like to point out the possibility of the river level being too low for all this nautical activity although it is July so could equally be too high
unless they are marquee size I may need to just man up. Although I will be watching the middle aisle in Aldi and Lidl.I can bring a couple of wetsuits and lifejackets
