Mystical Roo Buys a Surfboard

Following his recent surf lesson Mystical Roo decided that he wanted to buy his own surfboard.  And he's gone and done just that.  I didn't have much input in this but know that Mystical Roo has been liaising with Band Man to ensure he buys the best board for him.  Apparently, because he's a beginner, he needs a nice long board.  When he improves he can then downsize to a shorter board.  So Mystical Roo ordered his board and his wetsuit and is now prepared to be a proper surfer.  He actually went to collect his surfboard, which was hanging out at the warehouse, last night.  He was on big brother duty last night and went to collect Monster Noggin from a night out so she didn't have to get the train with all the scary train dwellers.  Yes, there are train dwelling sharks out there.  So on his way there he picked up his new surfboard and brought it home.  I didn't think much of this as I, having to get up for work this morning, was asleep.  When I got up this morning I came and sat down in my usual spot - the desk - and then noticed the massive surfboard propped up against the wall.  Massive surfboard!  Mystical Roo informs me it's 8'2.  Good God.  It's a beast.  Though a rather nice shade of red I think.  I have to wonder where the surfboard plans to live.  I think Mystical Roo thinks it will be a good addition to the flat.  It will give it a by the beach look.  I'm less convinced but if it makes him happy....Anyway, apparently a wetsuit will be delivered  somewhen and then Mystical Roo can happily surf his way through the winter.  As I'll be working all weekend I think Mystical Roo has plans to surf the day away.  Well it will be good exercise for him.  Maybe when he gets better I might be tempted to give it a little go.  In shallow water though and on the baby waves.   With the babies.  He should be a pro in time for Bear Z and Rabby's summer visit and then they can have a go too.  I bet they're excited about that!  I know I am.
