Let's Go Surfin' Now (by Jim)
So we're just sitting around looking out the windows and notice this head bobbing along across the marina. The head comes out from behind a row of boats and we realize it is a guy standing on a surfboard and paddling across the marina. He paddles right out the marina entrance and starts down and across the river (St Lucie River). At this point the river is about 3/4 mile wide. But he is going cross ways. To give you an idea of how far away this guy is, the camera is zoomed to 48X!! We figure he went at least 1.5 miles. Luckily for him, the water was very calm and no speedboats came zooming by. He paddles to a dock, pulls himself up and disappears. Now that is a real minimalist boater!!

ReplyDeleteThere is a whole new fad of stand up paddling. They use a special boat/surfboard and a special canoe paddle with long shaft handle. They call it SUPsurf for Stand Up Paddle Surfing. They even have their own magazine called Supsurfmag.com
