Dan from United States

“I did the boogie board thing for years with the kiddos and the beach break, then recently decided to take a SUP board out to the outer reef (1.2 miles offshore). Had overhead to 1.5x OH and even had a second breaking barrel that some short boarders were rocking (they took a bit to get that far out). Highly recommend experienced SUPsters get out deep (about even with the Mokes islands) and enjoy some potentially big surf.”
