I've wanted to Stand Up Paddleboard ever since I first saw it. It looked silent and smooth ... people skimming across the water with little effort. They stand on 10+ foot boards that look similar to surf boards but they are also wider. With a long paddle, the blade dips into the water and propels the board and the rider forward. Grace and beauty.
Below is the Island Girl preparing to paddleboard for the first time
We started out sitting or kneeling. The wind whipped around us and made small waves bigger and bigger. For a while, I thought that we would be blown off the island!
We moved locations and got to the lee of Kokohead. Less wind there and we had the opportunity to actually stand up ... wow ... incredible fun! We skimmed along for 30 to 40 yards and then just fell over!
Below is a video clip of Krista standing up on her paddle board. She was great!
