Awesome photos! I love SUP. It's a blast. Really enjoy the new Standup journal as well. I think I might have to move somewhere with waves again.

I wonder how many guys/gals are SUP ing in Utah. Some sailors can't fathom paddling around when they could be sailing in 9 lovely knots of gusty, holey Utah wind....others swear SUP changes their lives, makes them mellow, challenges their bodies to something totally new. Then again it ain't cheap, paddle alone is about $250, the board another $800. The Outdoor Retailer summer show was an SUP fest, no one wanted the canoes at Pineview demo day. The worldwide reaction Clay Feeter is getting is off the charts. Like surfin' hit in 1964, the vendors are happy campers.

Guess it wouldn't hurt to ask Wagstaff's to rent one at Deer Creek, can't be a big money maker, but no maintenance, might keep one stink potting wave runner off the water

I totally agree John. SUP is a totally different game from the wind chasing frenzy. I was in Maui last Halloween and had a week solid of perfect SUPing at Kanaha in killer waves and I didn't care if I got to kite or not. I will be doing it on Jordanelle alot this summer when there is no wind. I have two boards already and planning on having a custom one made for long distance paddling at speed. This board will be 18'6" long!! Let's go. Alot of manufacturers make them with mast track boxes. Starboard and Naish.
