ON THE ROAD WITH THE BOARDS

The past few weeks have been spent training and getting ready for the upcoming season on the Road. With the Boardworks Demo Tour in full swing, it has been great to meet lots of new people, introduce people to the sport of Stand Up Paddling, and share my passion for the sport.  I’ve been paddling both SUP’s and Kayak’s lately, but have been getting a lot of attention while paddling whitewater on our Stand Up Boards.  The other thing getting the attention of paddlers and on-lookers alike, is our new footwear from Chaco.

If I pulled it too far, it exposed that extra inch of skin on my ankle, but if I didn’t pull it far enough it didn’t provide enough coverage on my butt cheeks. Tick. Tock. But having cold cheeks wasn’t my only problem. The problem was, the sweater was on my legs, a size too small, and I was in the trunk of a sedan.
