Beautiful Sunday


Me on the good old Whopper, Love the board!!


 
And lucky we were in the Netherlands! Small waves but the weather was oh so nice. To the beach with the whole family and ...the SUP!

After a quick paddle near the beach. I went to the shallow waters near Ouddorp lighthouse. It was pretty crowded with Kayaks and a few SUP's. I really love paddling at the sandbank when waves come in from the North(west).


The Kayaks were practicing in the small surf conditions, looks pretty difficult to me, keeping your balance. Helmets might be indeed a good idea. But sure these guys had great fun.

As said the waves were very small but sometimes quit nice. The good thing for me as starter SUP surfer with goofy position is that the waves at the sandbank usually break to the left and keep peeling to the left. With a bit of luck the runs can be relatively long.






The other guys also had good fun, hope there will be more and more on this spot. It is roughly 10 minutes paddle from the beach to the sandbank. Some small current but noting heavy, easy to paddle through.




Even de 7,4 JP wide body in these conditions did well!
Cheers, hope to see you next time.
