Naish Paddle Test and first time Paddle downwind for Sarah !.

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Nice day today for a first time !. We tried the new Naish paddle board 11′6′’, really nice board, perfect for beginners, but also for good guys !!!. the Shape is great, a lot easier and faster than some other brands i used before… The design is really cool too, with some Polynesian motifs…

Here is a pic from Naish with the same board during a photoshoot, thanks to Michi for allowing us to try the board !.

We started from Tavares Bay, between Hookipa and Paia town. then we followed the coast, going through Balwin and baby beach to finish at Sugar Cove… 1h30′… Yes we were slow, but who cares ? We had to stop to check the island from the ocean, the turtles, the reefs…

Of course, we need two transportations to do it, so we parked our truck at the start and put our scooter at the finish… Nice scooter i know !.

Easy jibe !
