but i'm feeling bit uncomfortable and embarrassed now- how would you feel if you were him
I take your point and gave it some thought. I watched it one more time and to be honest I laughed even harder. Regardless of 1st post, it's stand up paddle NOT sit on a rubber block like I'm taken a dump paddle.
yeah, i wouldn't do it, but a little seat ,not the dump style, and a kayak paddle for an emergency isn't that silly.
i remember getting caught out about 3ks or so out with a south swell, a foot and half off shore chop and wind to match just smashing me on a big board with big volume up the front- i could not make any headway on that board standing up
i was directly out to where i had to get in. i had to push the rudder pedal right over with my knee and had the paddle straight sideways as wide as i could go. even then i got flipped a few times
two and half k's of the toughest paddling on one side i've ever had to do.
i would have gladly sat on a little seat with a kayak paddle.
the ocean can be a pretty mean place to be
cheers
