| Inflatable Stand-Up Paddleboard You Can Bring Anywhere! |
This weekend at a wedding on
the gorgeous, glorious, warm Russian River just north of the Bay Area in our
spectacular Wine Country, the fam and I were taking a dip in the river.
Enjoying the lush greenery, refreshing water and the multitude of mama
ducks w/gaggles of babies following them around.
It’s the kind of river that
has boatloads of canoes and kayaks of every make and model – filled to the brim
with kids in orange life preservers and wild paddling in every direction by
novices. SO happy to see and be a part of everyone out and enjoying Ma Nature’s
waterway in 90 degree heat….
When from around the river-bend
comes Cousin T from the wedding, paddling his on his Stand-Up Paddleboard
(SUP). Calmly, peacefully, he beaches his board where we are milling around
happily stalking the ducks and eating our lunch.
As we chat with Cousin T
about his long, enjoyable paddle, he pulls out a plug, and the giant board……..
thbbbbbbbbt……. squishes down and becomes a limp noodle on the ground. What the
what???
Yes, an inflatable SUP!

| There is a paddleboard in this backpack!
According to Cousin T, who flew
in for the weekend from New Jersey, he brings it everywhere with him. And I nod
in agreement as I then witness him rolling it up like a camping mat … roll,
roll, roll…. and then place it INTO a backpack that also holds the pump that
comes with it. And, finally, he then
throws the pack on his back and, with a wave, heads to the hotel to clean up
for rehearsal dinner. WOW.

Sorta like the Origami Kayak
that fits into your closet that I wrote about last year, it seems that the fab
outdoor gear industry is continuing to understand the VITAL role that space
saving places in our gear-cluttered lives!
There are many companies
that make these SUPs. Cousin T swears by Red Paddle Company, which is what he
owns after much research and the cool SUP we saw in action this weekend. Do
your homework.
So, shall we meet on in New
Zealand or Costa Rica or on a lake in Wisconsin? Don’t forget to pack clean undies,
and your inflatable Stand-Up Paddleboard!
Namaste
& Three Cheers! –OM
