SUP!

I got my first SUP (stand-up paddle) board today!  I took up this sport last Fall and have been wanting my own board for the longest time but could not afford it.  Boards run from $900 - $1550+.  A paddle alone costs $150-$300+


This board was a prototype for Naish.  The surfer I got it from was responsible for using/testing the board out in the water.  It's 10' x 29 1/4" which is a bit too narrow for me.  It shows obvious signs of wear, has no color, no handle, no leash, and comes with only the thruster fin.  HOWEVER, at $150, I could not pass it up AND it's light enough for me to carry.  I figure this will at least keep me occupied until I can save up enough for a really NICE board.  Can't wait to test it out in the water!
