First race on my LE 14X26 vid.

Yesterday we had the Core Boardsports SUP race at Geelong and I used my new Naish 14' LEx26.

That was fun, thanks!  Great ending with the train and scooter.

Nice.  Looks like you had fun..  But a race DJ?

I'm guessing not much wind that day, eh...

Well made! Appropriate tunes, as always.

Nice move sandbagging the start. Hilarious ending.

So...  how does it FEEEL? (the board, not sandbagging the start)

It feels awesome.. It's the best board that I've ever paddled.

That was the first time that I had ever stepped onto that board and I didn't know what to expect or how tippy it would be.. So after standing and doing a wobble test.. and realising I won't fall off.. they were all gone.. You soon find someone at your own level/speed that you can race with.. Who cares where you are in the race..  

This vid taken on the same day shows the difference in the current Ace and the new 2014 Ace (in blue).. There's a few little things but no big changes.

Just needling you a bit DJ.  Any day on the water is a good day.  I'm of the opinion that the real winner of a race is the one who comes in last.  They're the one who got to be out enjoying water time the longest.
The first person in should have to go and do the course again until they get it right!
