Man, I love the wood design on that paddle! I'm gonna steal that sucker.....

I have yet to see anyone make a SUP look convincing, and I swear I'm TRYING. Oh well, if I wanted to see anyone make sea kayaks look convincing, it'd be a long, long wait. It's amazing how lame the paddling scene is here on Galveston Bay, I can never get over it.

But last fall I saw a friend paddling a SUP, whereas I was perched in my Merlin. So I grabbed my long paddle, stood up, and sauntered over to say howdy. This is a guy who paddles a couple times each week, yet I could easily paddle circles around him ........... plus, I had an ice chest (full of good old ice cold water), a bunch of fishing gear, two anchors rigged for crying out loud, AND a nice comfy seat to refer to when I got tired of standing.

Using a SUP to surf with looks like it might be fun.

Oh, and I can't believe the original post could be considered off topic?
