Finally get this on the water & the last one before we go south with the Caravan -our main 2021 hols

It's beginning to work. The leaping round the bedroom trying to put you pants on is getting less.
Still convincing - Think about the exercise/weight loss/improve my balance etc...combine it with the fact that I have the wetsuit & shoes/life vest & a pump that will also do the job...& it all fits within my budget... so a bit of a no brainer...
We've unpacked it & set up up & done the research as to where you can take it. Got the roof bars & the straps - this is it! - it's time! And there is a sneak peak at the end - this is SO much fun.
It will appear in our upcoming holiday - enjoy!

Persevere with its so much fun. I’ve been paddle boarding for 3 years now and I’ve paddled to places that you just can’t get to of foot. Love it.

Oh I will & this bank hols the wife said that she may have a go…might secretly film…

[@brutalfiction]

FYI. The sweet spot to stand and sit is either side of the handle. Tis the most stable area

[@beyondthatbluedoor]

Thanks Anthony - every day is a school day and it’s great fun

[@davidtalbot491]

That was priceless 🤣

[@beyondthatbluedoor]

Thanks for watching David - not as easy as it looks!!!!

[@davidtalbot491]

@@beyondthatbluedoor I will stick with my kayak at my age I would spend more time in the water than on the board all credit to you for having a go it was a great watch though.

Not as easy as it looks is it Steve, I had a lesson and couldn’t believe how much the board wobbled when first got on, smooths out when you start to move. Standing up was easier with momentum, I went out the back door when another ‘L’ cut across my path 😂😂 My lesson was at The Water sports Centre at Royal Albert Dock Liverpool. Blue Flag water quality too.

Thank you for this & thank you for watching - every day is school day - So much fun!

I’ve had my other board for just over a year and managed to stand up last week at Loch Ken near Castle Douglas. I was chuffed to bits, for some reason it just seemed to click and all come together and I was away.

[@beyondthatbluedoor]

Well done 👍 I had to get a wider board (34") in order to stand up - I still like this board though for the sea as it has a kayak seat

[@volvot5boy]

Hi, how you getting on with the Aqua Spirit board? Asking as I’m looking at purchasing another board and have seen the Aqua spirit barracuda at a very decent price indeed. Just wondering if they are good quality for the money. Thanks 👍

[@beyondthatbluedoor]

It’s good & I use it on the as it has a kayak seat. On the other hand I had to get a wider board a "RED ride" model as its 34" wide in order to stand up

[@Coffeevaners]

Steve, have you mastered it yet. Any tips for beginners since we've only gone and got one each. Thanks. Ally & Alan

[@beyondthatbluedoor]

Master - No - stood up yes.Several times now (dead chuffed) & I use the oar (3rd leg if you like) but what a lot of fun…… I was on Lake Garda last week……brilliant

[@dengordo]

I'd say this board is a bit too small, the 12'6 version would be a bit more stable but this model is not for beginners at all.

[@beyondthatbluedoor]

I never new that at the time but it is fantastic on the sea as it has a kayak seat & double ended paddle - but the larger board I now have is much better - even stood up
