Standup paddleboarding

I think we've got about 30, 40 events through the year over the disciplines which are now becoming more so even multi-sport.

So we've got, you know, prones to start reaching out and being involved with SUP, skis, kayaks.

I think the prone, the Australian guy just won his fifth

Molokai.

Getting to the point where you can, you know, you're a ride anything guy, you're a shape everything guy.

You've been in the middle of SUP since it began.

Your family was like one of the front runners of it.

And the people that you've been able to call friends and acquaintances and friends Some of the peak performers on all craft like it's it's got to be really amazing, especially for somebody like me.

I mean, literally thousands of people on the beach watching these races, and it was in and out of the surf, so of course there was a lot of carnage, a lot of change in the lead and stuff like that, and it was just...

You know, the perfect timing for that to happen for a sport.

And at that point, you're like, dude, SUP has no limit.

This is insane.

If, if I move back to the UK, I will definitely buy myself a paddleboard and explore the rivers via paddleboard.

Uh, paddleboard, if you don't know, also known as SUP boarding.

SUP.

Uh, what does S sta- Yeah, I think, so SUP stands for stand up paddle.

SUP, stand up paddle.

And it's like an inflatable, quite a long inflatable board that floats on the water, and you can stand or kneel on it and paddle along with your oar, with your kind of rowing stick.

And yeah, I tried it a few weeks ago.

And that was a really easy investment once I figured that out.

And so I still just, you know, still the best tool for the, and the foil there, like you have to have a ski or you have to have a foil drive, the waves are moving faster and, you know, sup surfing.

If I lived there, I would still sup.

But then, you know, life changed and we had to move back to Florida and being a frothing surfer who's used to getting barreled every day, moving back to Florida, that was tough.

I kind of, he told me I should do it and I didn't do it.

And that was, you know, I wasted a year and a half, which sucks, but that's my only regret.

I'm glad to hear you still have a soft spot for SUP surfing because one of my questions was, was that a waste of your life spending whatever that was, five or 10 years, eight or 10 years SUP surfing, but clearly not.

No, definitely not.
