-#+title: I bought a balance board.
-
-With summer having come to an end over here in Western Australia, the
-wind-filled afternoons are also behind us for a few months. While the
-prevailing easterlies that now reign make for glassy ocean conditions,
-they're generally not strong enough for wing surfing. Most Autumn days
-don't bring enough swell to go out surfing either around the area I
-live. This prompted me to try out a new activity - balance boarding.
-
-I bought the board online from a Sunshine Coast family business,
-[[https://barefootandsalty.com.au][Barefoot & Salty]]. It came with 2
-cork rollers, 5cm and 8cm in diameter. They were really nice to deal
-with, and included a handwritten thank-you note in the shipment. A
-lovely touch.
-
-Just a few days in, I can already see a lot of progress, and it's
-proving to be a really fun activity for which I don't even need to leave
-the house.
-
-Keep on riding :)
