Sorry, but I just don't get it. Why do u want to surf waves like that on a boat. i'm sure he's havin fun which I know is the whole point of surfing but!!!!!. I think a lot of the time the guys that ride them are pains in the A---. They want every wave. and they ride those things because they wouldn't get a wave otherwise.

Awesome bit of film but ... 2 questions for you surf photographers:
1. Why is it all in slow motion, surely the sheer speed of this craft is remarkable?
2. Why do you mostly edit out the most critical part of the ride which is the takeoff?

Dude sure can ride a SUP!

Great surfing ..... he looks like he is enjoying himself.

Loved some of those very casual take-offs.
