Towing a SUP?

[robcasey]

Any with techniques and ideas on how to tow a sup'er who is injured, seasick or fatigued (from a SUP)?  (sup towing a sup). 

thanks.

That's going to be hard work depending on what boards you are on.. and how heavy they are.. and also what the conditions are like.. I would suggest taking your leash off and having them lay on their board like a prone surfer holding the cuff of your leash in their hands but not around their wrists so they can let go if they're going to fall off (roll off).

In a related story, here's a guy down the beach from me in Ocean City, MD, who paddled in two life guard chairs. It was awesome.

Three ways. Bare board (no rider) put one foot on each board and paddle.

towing--the best is if there's a leash plug under the nose--I only know of one board that has this--the Starboard 12'6" -- and not all of those do. Now that I think of it my 12'2" AST might as well.

--otherwise, take the fin out and tow it backwards from the leash. You can't tow backwards with the leash in place.
