My SUP Transition Began in a Canoe

A couple years before I acquiesced and got my first SUP I was all about the romantic tradition and grace of canoes…

As an unintentional transitional skill-development activity I can’t emphasize how important this was to my development as a river navigator. The experience of stepping onto a river SUP a year after this video was shot was amazing. Almost the same thing – but without the shin-busting gunnels and thwarts.
