Splashed two new Starboards today..

Heather, Karen and I went for a paddle mid Sunday  morning in Broad Creek out to Brams Point and over to Buck Island. Seen several Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins and lots of sea life. Calm water light winds. Perfect for a paddle. Karen and I splashed two new Starboard SUP's  The Avanti and Big Easy AST white models.. Great float and easy glide to cruise around the Low Country..
