Just purchased our first boards!
« on: February 16, 2012, 02:07:23 PM »
Hey all,

Just wanted to let other zones know that my wife and I just purchased our first boards, we are soooo excited.  We ended up getting a Naish Nalu 11'6 in wood, and a Hobie ATR 11'2.  All we need know is for the weather to warm up a little bit, warm booties and spring is around the corner!

Just wanted to share our excitement.

Stoked for you!  I especially admire a marriage where you can buy his and her boards!  My wife is spectacular on many fronts, but unfortunately has not caught the SUP bug.  I paddle alone...

It's great when both partners paddle for sure. Also in my case, i mostly paddle alone or with my buddies, none of which are as gorgeous as my dear wife. ;) That said, i do sometimes have the pleasure of her company, maybe once or twice a month.
So, Oysterman, i'm happy for you, lots of fun your way ! BulkyBiker, paddle on, like i do...

Great news oysterman.  If you paddle on the great Chesapeake Bay, hope you will join in our group paddles as it gets warmer, www.supannapolis.blogspot.com  it's a great group and growing, both for racing and fitness paddling.

We plan on heading to the bay, and paddling around Naptown

Congrats, the wife and I are just about to get our first as well. I will be getting a 12'6 Riviera Voyager and the wife is still in the deciding stages of what she wants. It didn't take much convincing to get her on board.

Awesome...you're going to have a good time. It's great to have a wife that paddles. I'm stoked for this season...my wife just had lasiks...now she can see waves coming and is very excited to get on some surf. Good thing I didn't sell her 9-8 element... ;D
