If you’re too old, fat, bald and wrinkling, then it’s wake-up time. You can still rip it up on a bigger surf sup and show the groms how to ride.

Check this guy out. OK, he’s not particularly old, but he is ripping with some great moves and slides. The brochures show us all the little guys on tiny boards banging off the lip and throwing 360s, but here is proof that even after you’re drawing a pensioner or have eaten to many pork pies you can still do your thing.

Jimmy Lewis Super Frank has a great 4 fin setup with plenty of volume for bigger blokes of 15 ish stone, so there is no reason you can’t achieve what you always dreamed of.
