Default Huge SUP!

I got an email last week from my friend Garrett McNamara back in Hawaii. I just had to share his email. Unreal!! Garrett was one of the pioneers of Tow-In Surfing too, always going huge. Here is some of his surfing vids http://www.garrettmcnamara.com/videos.htm

Aloha,

Thank God I'm finally home after more than a month on the road. It's
so nice to spend time with my wife and kids. If you want to know what
I've been up to, check out this interview by jim-Browskee from B-Ware
below. He dug deep. I think you'll like it!

you should try SUP surfing sometime, give it a shot in some waves 1/2, or even 1/3 that size. I imagine you will be in for a very humbling experience, if you make it to the lineup.

That wave is SICK!!! that takes serious nads to charge like that on a SUP. I got my ass handed to me when it was only chest highops:

???? Not sure who this is, but I haven't read anything positive from you on this forum. Why knock someone else if it has absolutely nothing to do with you? Even though many of us bat heads on the forum, we are mostly pretty happy people who like to have fun at the beach. If something bad happened, we'd all be there in a heartbeat for one another. I'm not getting those vibes from you and its unfortunate. We don't need any more negative nancy's in our community.

Think SUP is old men with crutches? matt sexton (age 22 or 23) just paddled 28 miles around manhatten for a charity event. That is quite an athletic feat for anyone.

try and use your time and thoughts to better our kiting community instead of finding fault with everyone and their efforts please.
