I’ve spent the last 24 hours getting used to a new board. Drum roll please… it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the Starboard K-15. Yes 15, as in fifteen feet. Yes, it is a big boy, or girl (haven’t decided yet). To be named later this week. Here are a couple of shots:
Big board, small car.
This morning I took the K-15 out on very flat conditions on a 2.5 mile paddle. It’s a fast board on flat water.
Last night was a little different. I went on a 4.8 mile paddle around Davis Island. One way I was going into a strong 12-15 mph headwind. The other way I had a side/tail wind. It was a bit choppy, and I definitely was having a few balance issues.
This weekend I am anticipating a big paddle. More to come…
Oh and lastly, it’s great to be back in the water after a one week sabbatical. I was greeted within 5 minutes by at least one dolphin, possibly two. The ocean is the great equalizer.

Beautiful!
Danie thinks the Prius picture looks like a car advertisement. Like…if you drive a Prius you will be so cool you can be a paddle-boarder, cause paddle-boarders are really cool!!!
That’s funny, because I get teased a bunch for driving a Prius. Good to know someone thinks Priuses are cool… with a stand up paddle board added.
That’s a prius?! I haven’t seen one that looks like that! Hmmm.mmm. The new board looks like speed!
This gives me hope for my Honda Fit, gotta get some racks though…
