Anybody here Stand Up Paddle Surf? (SUP)

[coopster]

I have been doing this for the last couple months, but I guess it has really been getting trendy.

I can tell you that it is a great workout and once you learn to paddle onto waves their is no difference between it and surfing.

Looks gay. Cool abbrevation though.

Whoa....doooooooooooooood....

Much cooler if there are waves.

I'm a surfer, but haven't tried stand up paddling. I see a lot of older dudes and some of the lifeguards doing it. Looks like it would be a good workout for your core. But, having to hold on to a paddle and the bigger board kinda kills it for me.

I've been in the water a couple of times at Little Dume in Malibu when Laird Hamilton showed up on a stand up board. He's ridiculously good.

Neo, if you see Laird sometime you should call him gay.

Will do.

I mostly see older guys doing it. And they're always way past the break. But I respect them.

 

[edmorel]

I row and I surf, I don't do both at the same time.

Maybe I'll try this approach with my snowboard. Although, I don't want to be labeled trendy.

You do realize that that is the worst thing you can call anybody/anything in the entire word (at least according to Ron & Fez)

Thanks funny I learn (an continue to learn) in malibu. Cant go to some of the best spots like county line or chart house b/c their are just too many regular surfers. I think I saw laird once at coogies with his tall volleyball player wife but i could be mistaken.
