The least they can do for you. I do not think that there is a better promoter of the sup- surf brand in North America, nor working so hard at it. Well deserved.

This is so cool! Well deserved, Creek!!  You are are a big reason that I have my 9'6 "Style", and a 9'1' "Creek" on the way.  Your energy and stoke are far reaching.  Sunova could not have a better ambassador.  Hope to meet you in JimK land when I pick up my new board.

Thanks folks.... super stoked!
See you at Jimk's Emocean  :)

That is really cool, I'm ambassador for a kite company from Canada, and their big trip is to OBX, fun, but not worth taking a week off for compared to Thailand/Maldives.

If you head through Charleston, PM me, I'll be around, there may be a small trade-wind swell.

APPST.... I planned to give you a call when I leave JAX.... not sure exactly when, but I hope to see you on the way to Myrtle!

So stoked for you creek, sounds like you're gonna have the time of your life...just don't drink the water (or is that for someplace else? I'm not much of a traveler ;) :) ).

The positives are just wayyyy out weighing the negatives for you. A little cataract surgery will be nothing more than a little backwash bump, compared to this Dream trip. Livin the life Rick!
I know we'll be hanging with Bert and the gang vicariously through your posts. Looking forward to it.
It's not overhead to me!

Great news, I'm happy for you. Sounds like they have some great stuff planned. Yes, being 70 can be a lot of fun. I rescheduled my cataract surgery until after I get back from the Maldives trip. If I drop in on someone, I can just say, 'sorry dude, I didn't see you'.

Creek, this trip sounds almost too good to be true.  If I hear Liam Neeson is looking for you, and ready to kill whoever took you, don't say I didn't warn you  ;D (That's the jealousy talking)

When you're done with all this fun, you're going to need to write up (and illustrate) a "Retirement for Fun Loving SUP'ers on a Budget" how-to book. I'm not sure anyone does more with less and has a better time doing it than you.  Good Karma seems to be a boomerang in your life.

Thought:

Rick spends winters in Thailand instead of Florida, operating a SUPsurf guide/Sunova demo/stoke operation.

Remember this post!  ;D

Cool, anytime -it's been good for kiting lately and some waist-stomach wind slop, SUP a few days here and there.

What a fantastic opportunity to both enjoy and learn.
It’s an experience you will never forget, and an experience the other “team” members will enjoy and encapsulate as One Big Family.

Be nice to see a few pics, if you have the time  ;D

Good Times creek! This is the stuff dreams are made of 8)

Can't wait for the flow of board porn.
