The last few days we had plenty of wind and some nice bumps. Downwinding is so addictive.

Many ways.. Usually not paddling back..

The norm is..

1.. everyone meets at the end location.. [at least two people]

2.. load up onto the least cars poss.. [example 4 people into 1 car with 4 boards on roof]

3.. drive to start location and unload..

4.. do the downwinder and all meet at the end location..

5.. someone drives the person/people back to their car/s that are back at the start location..

Sounds like a hassle.. but it's not.. Anyway it's worth it..

btw.. there are many ways of doing it solo.. Like this..

There another way... Since I work at the beach (on a SUP center) and live by the beach, I can commute my way home on a downwinder. I just leave my car at work and bring my stuff (house keys and a few more things with me) with me. The best part is that this is the best downwind run I know and one of the best in the world. 15 km of pure downwind gold. The next day my wife leaves me at work :D
