This ancient Peruvian crossover between stand up paddle surfing, and kayak surfing looks pretty sweet. It’s essentially a reed boat and a giant log. How simple could it get? I like the primitive simplicity in this type of paddle surfing. No carbon fiber, no shaped paddles, you get to use a log to paddle out to the lineup. Nice! Notice how he is using a high angle greenland stroke with that board? This guy is probably even canting his blade forward a bit.

It would be great to see this sport take off in the way that east Greenland rolling skyrocketed off into the ether.
I have to give a lot of credit to those Girls for standing up on those reed craft on their first outing. I would have crashed and burned. The other super funny part is, they are all in wetsuits, and the local is in a cotton t-shirt. That’s one tough hombre!
This is the suitable blog for anyone who wants to seek out out about this topic. You realize so much its virtually laborious to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just nice!
While I can appreciate the points in Ancient Crossover between Stand Up Paddle Surfing and Surf Kayaking | Go Kayak Now!, I am sick and tired of hearing about the “economic recovery”. The US government borrowed and spent $6.1T over the past four years to obtain a cumulative $700 billion increase in the nation’s GDP. That means we’ve borrowed and spent $8.70 for every $1 of nominal “growth” in Gross domestic product. In constant $, Gross domestic product is flat, we have no “growth” at all for our $6.1T. In constant dollars, the GDP in 2011 might return to the 2007 level, if the economy continues “growing” at the same pace reached inside the first 12 weeks of 2011. If not, then the Gross Domestic Product will in reality be lower than before recession levels. There is no economic recovery, the facts prove it.
