WindSUPing !










went over to lowers and was greeted with the sight of waves around chest high and light winds. the schlog out and swim back in scenario went through my mind.. noticed that Naish had a SUP demo on the beach. some of the SUP boards have a masttrack so i borrowed a 12.6 and took it out for a sail ! it was good fun,but for riding waves i would say that its better with just the paddle. the wind was a tiny bit onshore (Norwegian east coast sailors would call it side off..) sideoff might have helped the riding. the wind picked up when i was out there and on the way back in i almost got the big boat planing ! went out again with the shortboard again but the wind kind of dropped. still it was a fun day at the beach ! the pictures are from Ho yeasterday. quality sailing up there as usual..
