I don't understand it when they are afraid of the water or don't want to get wet. Can't they figure out from the pictures that it is a water sport.

When I taught water skiing I never had this problem.

This is something I'd like to see. I cannot imagine towing someone for 1 to 3 miles into a 3 to 4 foot chop. That means each breaking wave is crashing over your head as you sit down and paddle while towing someone. It's got to be quite a workout.

I've been doing the same thing in Puget Sound on my SUP board for the past 4 years. It's a lot of fun and a great way to have a quick surf session right in the city.

A friend of mine was able to get some photos while I was out in the water. Here are a couple...

I've seen or rather experienced it a few times. Some don't want to get their feet wet, others are scared of the water, and a few have anxities such as not not getting on water where they can't see the bottom.

I can't believe people would go out SUP-ing without knowing how to swim! That's like flying a plane without taking any lessons. Crazy!

That maroon and white one is my ski and it's the most incredible surfcraft I've ever ridden. No really, I'm not kidding!!!
After having two previous TL skis, I noticed a difference on my first wave on this one. First, balance is no isssue at all, but the performance is all there. I know this ski will always be able to do more than I'll ever be able to make it do.
And just look at it, it's beautiful.
Thanks Tyler,
Rick

Lakeshore Paddle board company makes 2 light weight models 1 that is an 11'-6" that is 19 Lbs and a 12'-6" that is 21lbs and best of all they are made in the USA not in china like most company's. They are both a hollow constructed as well as very good looking. And are resonable in price compared to other displacement hule type boards. And a quite stable great for touring and racing.

Promotional laptop bags are a product that needs to be strong and durable, meaning your message imprint will be seen for a very long time. That is a good thing!.

One more addition to this list - when it's below freezing, don't leave your straps or ropes outside during your paddle. Today, in 15F windchill, I came back and my ropes were frozen solid. Cheers.
