Pure and simple FUN !


All three of my sons have surfed and with my youngest son Curtis , we had him down in the surf ,standing and riding the little waves towards the beach, by the time he was 6. A couple of knocks from the surfboard he was riding and it put him off surfing for a couple of years….so with keeping this in mind, I started my eldest grandchild last summer on a surf mat and now a summer later and about to turn 7, she just loves the mat, nice and soft and it can hit her in the legs and arms and not put any fear into her about getting hurt…shame about the shells and course sand, but needles to say its a great safe way to introduce kids to the surf before progressing up to a coolite and then a hard deck board….Go Cede’s!

The new Duck Feet from Krypt International have finally had a surf trial, and after two days of solid surfing with them, all I can say is ’Yippee’  …there's heaps of kick power  in them and my legs are holding up nicely….makes a HUGE difference to catching waves and now can get into waves a lot earlier than wearing the smaller bodyboard type fin that is on the market.
