Stand up paddle boarding returns to the simple essentials. Hi Randall,

But for all of us who aren't kiting, stand up paddleboarding is the new big sport. I've windsurfed for decades (pretty much since the sport was invented) but now, I've returned to my surfing roots with stand up paddling. We have a strong community of SUP paddle boarders in Bend, Oregon, where I live. I got started in the sport about 3 years ago and since, it's become our family business. Check out our blog for flat water paddling stories, or send us photos and your SUP adventure. http://standuppaddle.blogspot.com/ Funny how the trend away from windsurfing first went to kiting.
