Project Ww'SUP: River Dancing Basics

Whitewater SUP Not Pretty?

Two recent articles in national media (CNN and SUPtheMag.com) have described whitewater SUP as awkward and clumsy ... but impressive. The fact is that there are actually plenty of awesome paddlers out there - not just the pros - who are consistently demonstrating the sublime beauty of Dancing on Whitewater Rivers. 

This little video is my first contribution to a growing body of knowledge on stand-up paddling moving water not just with safety and basic competence - but with STYLE. The venue for this demonstration is a little class 2 section of the Mayo River on the North Carolina/Virginia border - a wonderful place to work on fundamentals that you can take to class 3 and harder water.

More articles on fundamentals, training exercises, and style are in the works.
