Hey Allen, I try to get out as often as possible. The Hous has been bone dry all summer…sux. Been paddling the local waters at Glen Island and the estuaries around Orchard Beach. I plan on paddling the SUP race on Sept 15 out of Fairfield. Been also out on the Saugatuck…access to CT sound shore is a major problem, especially around Greenwich. If you ever get south of Danbury area give me a shout.

Goto ctchallenge.org. Checkout link to Sept 15th event. Fundraiser for cancer survivors. 6.5 mile race loop. Looks like fun. Minimum $250 funraising amount. I have never raced, so it should be interesting.

Chuck, if you ever get south near NYC, or the Hous above Great Falls for some SUPing give me a shout. Got into the whole SUP thing last summer…got a killer deal on a Starboard race board from Outdoor Sports, and recently a BIC AceTec on Craigslist. Also looking to do the upper Hous on the Versa Board again.
The perspective of standing up is what it is all about.  

Yeah I agree. The first time I tried SUP I thought, why did it take me so long to finally try this? Now it’s my preferred method of having fun on the water. Way more fun than a kayak, for me, although if I don’t have a SUP I’m definitely using a kayak, or canoe or whatever I can get my hands on.
