Bobby Ah Choy – The Early Years of Stand Up Paddle Surfing

March 31st, 2011 by evan

Steve at Surftech had this really great photo of Bobby Ah Choy doing his version of stand up paddling (and sit down) in Waikiki. I love the wooden chair! I’m not sure what year this was but you can tell from the skyline and lack of buildings that it was a while ago.

I remember as a kid, seeing these two dudes coaching tourists to surf at Waikiki. They were standing up on oversize surfboards using canoe paddles (extended)to propel themselves around the learners. It was 1978.

Ha, that is such a cool pic. The chair isn’t such a bad idea.

I’m 67 years young and SUPing in the Pavones, Costa Rica area when i can get outta Panama.
When we were kids surfing Canoes late 50s-early 60s, if I remember right, I remember both Bobby AND Leroy taking shots….
