Standup PHOTOS & Video Clips

[ricki]

Went by the beach in Deerfield to checkout the convergence of squalls from land and sea last night. There was a guy doing standup in this dramatic setting. Even better he wasn't struck by lightening. I didn't have a regular camera just an an Evo cellphone,







Here's our boy stroking just outside the sandbar, Hillsboro Light down the coast in the distance.




That squall to seaward became real interesting and threatening as it moved in to shore. It seemed to change every few seconds.



A calm stormy sea?



I tried to capture it with limited success but at one point there were these dark ragged vertical tendrils of cloud hanging down below the base. This thing morphed through many changes of mood short of grabbing and swallowing vessels at sea.




Making north ideally to secure before the fireworks move in close.




Still going off in the east.








Last look to the southeast, weather moving in. Some rain would be good.

"RRD-NISSAN Surfin' Venice

This is an event that aims to bring at least 100 SUP boards to paddle in the historic waters of the canals of Venice and it has the objective to become a fixed annual Meeting of the SUP movement in Italy and all around the world.

Try to imagine 100 SUP departing from Piazzale Tronchetto and paddling along the Grand Canal, accompanied by the crews of the Venetian rowing on historical boats, among a bustle of gondolas, boats and TAXI motor-boats of various kinds."

Robby Naish stopped by early for some photo ops and time in the canals.

Used to have a lot of human waste and industrial pollution in Venice Lagoon along with heavy metals, even dioxin in the sediments. Have things changed? Sure hope so.


Robby touring the canals, ideally with no open cuts!


Looks cosy, makes me want to jump in.
