Stand-up couple

Stand-up paddler silhouettes at sunset at Honolulu's Kaimana Beach. Definitely not a sport just for the guys.

 

"Stand up paddle surfing (SUP), stand up paddle boarding, or in the Hawaiian language Hoe he'e nalu, is an emerging global sport with a Hawaiian heritage. The sport is an ancient form of surfing, and reemerged as a way for surfing instructors to manage their large groups of students, as standing on the board gave them a higher viewpoint. This increased visibility of what was going on around them such as incoming swell." (Wikipedia)

 

If you dig it, check the second comment below for a couple more SUP shots of mine. Mahalo!
