So I was paddling back from a session on Sunday, and saw this huge piece of wood on the shore.. Turned out it was the base of a wooden Dragon Boat.. about 35ft / 5m long and around 31" wide... So.. Will it SUP?

I have no idea what these two floats were that I found in the treeline behind the beach, above the storm debris field. Perhaps they were stabilisers for a canoe, or part of some sort of catamaran craft, but lashed together with some electrical cable found on the beach, they made an interesting and challenging craft...a sort of standaram... but will it SUP?

Awesome!  Keep em coming.

I am not sure I would like falling in that water, or is it cleaner than the debris field beyond it  :o

Beasho.. Haha. Glad you like it.. The storm debris field is way up behind the beach, and whilst there are beach clean ups on a regular basis, these small little coves get overlooked. A few of us who SUP in the area are going to do a clean up of this one later this year. The water itself is quite clean, until we get a downpour and all this crap gets deposited in the sea, only to end up back on the beach later... Actually on this trip, I was looking for a fridge that I'd seen a while back... because I've always wanted to SUP a fridge..  ;D

Didn't find the Fridge. But did find a sofa / couch / settee. But will it SUP?

That looks like a pretty nice couch.  I could have used it in college.

Will it SUP? The Couch
« Reply #26 on: April 18, 2015, 02:25:46 AM »
It had to be done... This abandoned couch has been sitting on the shoreline for some time..

Thanks to PM for helping getting the couch in and out of the water.

Re: Will it SUP? The Refrigerator / The Fridge
« Reply #28 on: September 21, 2015, 07:05:25 AM »
It's been over 120 days (or so the warning when I posted this tells me) since I last posted a vid on the "Will it SUP?" thread, and my kids have been egging me on to find something new to paddle, and so whilst on the beach this weekend, a refrigerator / fridge was spotted... or at least the remains of one.

I reckon it was 225L, which is similar to a 12-6 x 28" x 5" race board.....but with higher rails, no rocker, and a sunken deck like the Starboard Ace.. but will it SUP?

You be the judge...

I hope Laird doesn't hear about this.  It might catch on.
