Stand Up Paddle boarding is quickly becoming a global phenomena and it’s presence here in Florida is becoming hard to miss. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a paddleboarding magazine or trade show already. I honestly was not expecting much, but once I got my first taste of standing on water Jesus style, well, I quickly got why this sport is exploding. Standing up on the water is an amazing feeling that has to be experienced to really understand. This sport has its root in Hawaii and has only recently become popular here in the USA in the past few years. Most surf shops that rent surfboards now carry paddle boards, I paid $50 for a 24 hour rental with a paddle. So, next time you go to the beach, rent a stand up paddle board and see what all the hype is about. The camera I used to make this video is called a Go-Pro HD, (surf hero). Great little camera. Here’s a trick, slice an apple and rub on the lens, it will help water sheen of the lens. I couldn’t find an apple for this video so you will notice water spots on the lens. Grrrrrr.
Enjoy Florida, Chad Crawford
