It really doesn't seem to bother them. Most of them are such low volume boards.

Mo Freitas could duck dive his board when paddling prone.

I was checking the Surfline app cameras, and saw SUP racers at Cowells, dashing in towards the beach and then out. 
Was wondering if there was an event or a regular group meeting/SUPing.

Mo can duck dive it paddling SUP. I saw him do it at a contest at Ho'okipa a few years ago. Kai does it too. Ridiculous.

I've seen a video of Kai doing a stand up duck dive, but Bernd Roediger did perfect one paddling out through a big outside set this morning. That was the first time I've seen one in person.

No one else seemed to get that excited about it except me.

If you could find that vid and post it, that would be much appreciated SW.

The first time I saw a video of someone doing anything close to a standing duck dive was Kieran Grant (go to 1 minute, 48 seconds).

Thanks for the photos and updates southwesterly.

Those boards look really small
