It's one of those things that you start off, it's not really as stupid as it looks. Then, as each new feature is revealed, you, just, slowly, lose, the will, to live.

When it can fly I'm in, and honestly I'm a bit surprised it can't.

I think it looks awesome. I know the creator, he's a super-smart guy.

Awesome, it would fit right in with the other flotsam at the ally.

Hey 599 you forgot to mention handsome as well - is it you?

Ha bobajob, I thought it might seem like that in hind site, no, I'm Laura, a girl in California, but I do know Dan and have been trying to help his invention get seen (I posted on craigslist Australia today but it was taken down - does no one buy Paddle Boards and Surfboards on craigslist there?)
I was about to post his video here and was so pleased to see that someone had already done it.


I don't know very much about Paddle Boarding so this is all new to me, I'm/was more of a mountain person, message me at facebook if you need verification: www.facebook.com/laura.james.77715

I have seen the SUPO in person and I think people will really like it, I hope you all like it and let others know about it if you want. You Australians are some of my favorites and the first place I posted.

Love to you all from California, wish you all the best always!*****

What's the point? the drag at 1:12 is abysmal, he doesn't seem to advance, and the wake is huge...

I guess a simple entry-level beginner barge is both stabler and faster than this...

I've sort of changed my mind. I reckon it could be a good invention for paraplegics. You could make the platform bigger and put a chair on it and paraplegic people could get out and paddle safely. That would be a cool thing to see.

Pretty sure he had the little motor gizmo in reverse to create a harder work out

The door was open, the branch was low and the fruit ripe. Someone would have.

Hello lovelies,

Its design is geared at helping everyone, including people who may have mobility restrictions (people with missing limbs or paralysis, wounded veterans and others, elderly people who may need more stability than a traditional SUP, etc).

You can turn the SUPO without changing paddling sides; in racing, I gather this could be important for improving time (and also effective if you don’t have complete use of both arms or hands.)

Thank you Australians and my other fabulous international friends, you are a phenomenal, remarkable group… love

Actually, the big inflatables (for mutiple people) are what works best for this, with no sharp angles to hurt oneself

For instance we have in France an association using them for this purpose: www.mymajorcompany.com/le-stand-up-paddle-accessible-a-tous

Lol, that's all. And is Capt Dan from the old Barefoot and waterski movies of the 80s n 90s? I've heard those dulcet tones before. Such great hair and teeth too, this man cannot fail, where do I sign?
