The sport of Stand Up Paddle surfing is taking off all across the world and now a crazy few are riding down rapids! Watch C4's Charlie MacArthur, Noland Martin and Liam Wilmott SUP surf in Colorado.

I like the idea of a half decent standing wave to play on, but the down river stuff just looks like an easy way to ding your board on rocks...

The rapid increase in popularity of this type of sup'n will unveil newly designed and manufactured boards suitable for the odd rock hit here and there. From what I understand the inflatables were no good as they were to flexy.
stay tuned....

Shame all the rivers in NSW dried up in the 90s. You'd want a pretty rock proof one for Australian rivers. Be good somewhere like Cairns in the wet season though!
