so you might think that our traditionally muddy & cloudy, kansas lake water might hold us back from getting in.....


but don't worry- it didn't.
nope. not at all.

in fact- we initiated our previously "only used at malibu beach ocean surfboard,"

to become the first surfboard of it's type to offer endless lawn chair rides, to preschoolers, paddled by strong uncles,
...........{whose parents loved him for it}.
