This is a session that I went to a while back with Kekoa at Puena Point. It’s supposed to be huge, about 12’-18’ Hawaiian scale but then it turned out to be 3’-5’ Hawaiian scale. I guess it picked up that afternoon but at that time that we were there, the conditions were really nice: no winds, glassy water but the waves were a little smaller. So I ended up taking pictures and video shots of Kekoa while he was surfing. Check out this video that I got.

I decided to take my son at Ala Moana Beach Park to just paddle around and get outdoors because I was indoor most of the day getting work done. I need to get out as I was getting cramped up feeling indoors.

Here’s some clips of my friend Kekoa surfing Diamond Head. It’s from a while back but I figured I’d just post it anyway.

Kainoa Beaupre sent over this video of him on his little mini SUP. At 200 lbs, I’d probably sink it to the ocean floor but Kainoa’s about the size of my 6 year old so it floats him just fine…just kidding. Check out the video.

A few weeks ago I got a chance to join some of the fastest downwind paddlers on a practice run before the Duke’s Oceanfest Race. The plan was to shoot some video tips from each of them but my Sanyo Xacti E2 died a few minutes into it. Here’s what I was able to get from Ekolu before the camera died.

I was browsing youtube.com and found this short video from the Hennessey 2007 Maliko race. Now that I’m into downwind racing, it’s really interesting to see how these guys are catching bumps. If you watch the SUP portion around 2 minutes into the video, you’ll see Dave and Ekolu Kalama almost not even paddling and getting really long glides. It’s definitely something to strive for and the Maliko conditions look super fun. Check out the video.

Here’s a new video I found on You Tube for Sandwich Island Composites F-Series boards. I think this was taken during their recent Molokai trip. This is a great video showing brief clips of each board.

I took the video and these pictures last New Year’s eve on the North Shore after heavy rainfall. You’ll notice from the pictures here how gross the water looks. Continue reading ‘Himalayas and Polluted Water’

When I talked to Brian Keaulana last week, he mentioned that whitewater SUP was as fun to him as surfing big waves. Huh? Did I hear him correctly? Anyway, here’s a video by C4 Waterman that will make your eyes open wide. I didn’t think it was that intense but this video is pretty crazy.

After a downwinder late last week, we were rinsing off our gear and saw Dave Parmenter. Dave is a master shaper and co-founder in C4 Waterman. He’s the guy that designs and shapes their boards. Dave is one of the early pioneers of stand up paddle surfing and I found it interesting that he considers Todd Bradley his paddling coach for downwind and racing. Dave’s paddling in the Molokai to Oahu race this weekend so I thought it would be a good idea to film a quick interview and get some tips. Good thing I had my camera on my arm.

Rand over at www.standupzone.com posted this video done by www.pdmaui.com and I thought I’d repost it here since it’s a great video and Laird makes it look so darn easy.

I’ve been riding the Starboard K15 SUP board off and on and shot some video of it in action. First off, the K-15 is an interesting board. It’s not meant for surfing but it can actually surf small waves. The board has incredible glide, especially in flat water which makes it perfect for lakes and inland paddling. A while back I took it out to Old Man’s in Waikiki and caught swell. I’m saying swell because for the most part, the swell never broke into a wave. You’ll see what I’m talking about in the video I shot of Randy Lui-Kwan surfing it.

I took this video and pictures last year (October 2008) when I went to the Starboard headquarters for a visit.

The first day that we were in Pattaya, Thailand, there was no wind and the water very glassy. The water was super warm, almost bath tub-water warm. The water was brownish but actually seemed fairly clean. I didn’t get sick so it was probably ok. Pattaya is a resort area and had a lot of hotels on the beach. I was surprised because there were a ton of Russian people there and signs were also in Russian. Continue reading ‘Stand Up Paddling in Pattaya, Thailand-video’
