Stand Up Paddling

A royal Hawaiian sport, now becoming a new craze and the World's quickest growing watersport.

Why is this you may ask? It could be any of the following fresh perspectives and benefits that it can bring to your surfing:

• Provides an excellent workout, targeting your core muscle groups and providing an overall feeling of balanced strength.
• Allows you to enjoy the ocean (or lake/river) in less than optimal conditions when there are no waves or the water temperature is extremely cold.
• Improves balance, coordination and strength which will translate to improved traditional surfing skills.
• Stand Up Paddling is an extremely fun and addictive sport that can be enjoyed by any age group with or without any previous experience. Trust us! You'll be hooked!

  Here's what some are saying after they got their SUP gear at LDS

 "The "Big Easy" is awesome...just did a mile on the local lake without falling. .loving it. This could change my life!!! Thanks for everything...you are a real waterman. SUP is perfect...going to quit the gym! See you again this year" By Don..

 

Totally dig the board! 4 lakes/ponds and the ocean later, I am happy to be the owner of this thing!  Thanks again for all your help. It was great to meet you and thanks again for the deal on the paddle. It's perfect. Had a girlfriend of mine out today for a couple hours and she is looking for a used one as well. She is about 5'6, 130 lbs and had no issues on mine. We actually went tandem for a while and switched sucessfully on the fly (totally hysterical, but neither one of us ended up in the drink). Do you have anything around the same price that would work for her? 

Take Care,

Aimee

1. You paddle out floundering to a lineup with surfers. You can barely stay standing but proceed right into or outside of the lineup. You paddle for waves while people scramble out of your way only to fall off before you can even get on the wave.... Your big board becomes an extremely dangerous projectile... Kook alert!! KOOK!! KOOK!! KOOK!! KOOK!!When Beach Boy surfing, there are Koolthings and things that make you a huge KOOK!

This section is dedicated to Kook & Kool!

2.You can barely stay standing so you practice in an area where no one is around that you could endanger or bum out. You care about the world wide effects of SUP surfing so you paddle and surf with Aloha. Very Kool!!

3. You start to get the hang of it and want to surf better waves so you decide to surf a more popular spot. You paddle out and stand outside everyone. The sets come and you paddle in like a locomotive right thru the pack. You get waves in every set... KOOK!!

4. You start to get the hang of it and want to surf better waves so you decide to surf a more popular spot. You paddle out and check out the situation. You see waves off to the side that a lot less people go for. You catch a few of those... Since you don't want to wear out your welcome, you decide to catch only a few set waves at most. You surf with Aloha.... Kool!

5. You paddle out on an in-consistent day to a crowded spot. You stand outside everyone the whole duration of the lulls. You never sit down so you tower over others the whole time... You makesure you catch a wave from every set. KOOK!

6. You paddle out on an in-consistent day to a crowded spot. You feel like you're on stage so you stand off to the side or sit down between sets because you don't like blocking everyone's view of the beautiful ocean. You catch a couple waves then move to the inside or on to another spot or just paddle around because you figured out how to surf with Aloha... KOOL!!

7. You're pretty good and can get in and around the surf well... You surf crowded spots and catch all the waves you can. Small ones, set waves etc. Because you can surf good you get plenty waves. You're always calling people off your waves. You just can't help yourself to sit sets out so you basically take over the spot for the duration of your surf. HUGE SELFISH KOOK!!!!!!!!

8.You're pretty good and can get in and around the surf well... You go to a crowded spot and check out what's going on. You see some of the lesser quality waves going un-ridden and surf those. You catch a ton of waves but ones that no one really wants. You paddle out and get a few set waves but you make sure others get waves by quietly cluing them in to incoming sets. You become a quietspotter of sorts for others to score good waves.... You always sit out a few sets. You use your high vantage point to stoke others out. KOOL!! (When you arrive and it's already crowded NOT GOING OUT THERE is the KOOLEST!)

9.You see how cool SUP surfing is because you can paddle fast and want to get back at those greedy longboarders. You decide to get into it to take over and be the dominent surfer at any spot at any time. Do the entire surfing world a favor and don't get into it. You are the biggest KOOK!!!!!!

10. You see how cool SUP surfing is because you can do something that is a challenge, get great exercise, paddle far up the coast at will, have a blast riding waves you never thought would be fun, discover new spots, like to enjoy the comraderie of the SUP surfers around the world. KOOL!!

Note:
If there are more than one of you SUP surfing, everything becomes doubled, tripled, quadrupled, etc.
Avoid heavy rotations with other SUP surfers when surfing with others.

Be aware of your actions and the actions of others. BE KOOL!
