Are there any prone paddle groups training together in the area?

None around here I know of, you could possibly do the AM swim with the life guards at the beach with the Big Red Buoy on the outside, It's a long swim, out to the buoy , North , then back...with all the shark activity not sure about doing that , also they may not want you tagging along as a liability (the head life guard yaks to provide safety), they swim early around 8AM, one "swimmer" was nice enough to unhook my line from the reef when they passed by the last time I was out. I would like to do the swim with them someday...if you go PM me if they were cool about it.

Yep... when I was a bit more focused on fitness (and not as lazy) after work I would do a 3/4 mile swim in the ocean (just out far enough where I couldnt touch and cheat) along the beach, then jog back.... but this time a year, the ocean is a bit too fishy for me. As far as prone paddle boards... I really dont get it. Just hop on a longboard or gun and start strokin'

Thanks for the info.

+1 on the sharkiness at the moment.

Been surfing just before sunrise the last few mornings and the black-tips are everywhere.

Nearly tripped over a little 4ft in the trough on Tuesday - he was smashing the bait fish against the beach.

About 30 minutes later there was a much bigger smash about 50ft out from me and I finally lost my nerve and came in.

Will feel little safer with most of my body out of the water... :-)
