Is anyone still stoked on SUP ?

We have a small training group that is still into SUP downwind racing and we are training for the M2O race, still stoked!

Im in Oregon and still stoked on SUP! Flatwater or surf ! Still get out to the coast weekly.  I can foil but love waves more.  I can wing and maybe one day ill try sup foiling but just regular sup surfing is better IMHO.

Just turning 74, and my SUP stoke is still alive and well. My ideal day is still SUP surfing in the morning and then windsurfing in the afternoon with the occasional downwinder thrown in. If there are no wind or waves, I enjoy taking a 12-foot touring board and powering up and down the coast.
If you think windsurfing is dead, check out any recent videos of the Aloha Classic on Maui or any other wave or freestyle competitions. The performance level at the high-end continues to grow every year. What has changed is that windsurfing is now more restricted to places that have consistently good conditions. Fewer people are doing it who have access to those conditions, but those people still love the sport and all its variety.
As far as SUP surfing, I am picking up my new 8'10" Sunova Ghost at air cargo tomorrow, so the stoke is definitely still there.

Is anyone still stoked?.....absolutely.  I'm also approaching 74 (in a month), and have a new Ghost 9'3".  We've had a pretty nice little swell the last five days, and my crew says that they haven't seen me as loose on any of my previous boards, as I am on this one.  Good feedback always helps stoke the stoke!
Also, for anyone who is wondering where he is, and whether he is still stoked, I frequently surf with Creek here on Cape Cod.  He is 77 and still jamming.  Watch the video for proof.



Feel like a kid again with this swell and the new board.
