Thanks for taking us along! ... I'm always blown away by how clear the water is in your videos, the reef is perfectly visible at the 2:55 mark! That would take some getting use to!

Flatwater and Touring / Re: Respectable times ?

Thanks for reply. So if the same paddler moves onto a 14' board, does the speed inherently go up some % over same 5k distance just by virtue of being on the longer board?

So what's a respectable speed for an average paddler on a 12'6" race/tour board in average conditions over say a 5km distance (min and/or mph)? ... asking for a friend.

Have always just used the loop in the pocket of my trunks ... haven't lost a key yet.

Did give some thought to using a lockbox, but figured any low-life with the will (and a hammer) could probably bash the thing open anyways.

I liked the one about painting eyes on the bottom of your board.  Potential business opportunity there, selling adhesive eyes to surfers to stick on bottom of their board. But then I was thinking, maybe that would only draw the attention of an even bigger shark since you look like an even bigger piece of bait, with smaller bait (i.e. your feet) swimming around it.

Nice!! ... So jealous, we kinda got shafted here in central FL with strong on-shores making a mess of it. Hoping for some clean left-overs here at the end of the week.
