Another upwind/downwind on the Bullet

Had 2 GoPro cameras mounted for today's run.  Makes for lengthly video editing but nice to have two different perspectives with no camera man but myself ;)  Aloha!

MEAN the music. Its great to paddle up and come back down and not worry about shuttling back to the starting point. Upwind paddling is great training any day but some say its to difficult on a Standup vs. OC-1. Now I like one video with old skool hip hop.lol

SUP NINJA,
Sometimes I don't have a paddling partner, so no option to shuttle.  The winds in this video was light but the ocean bumps 3-5 feet although the GoPro lens doesn't do it justice.  When the rain squals come through, the winds pick up, if I'm outside, I can catch the ride, if I'm inside, I turn towards the squal and paddle like a madman the best I can.  It's pretty humbling, but an awesome workout! Just when I feel like giving up, I think about Dave Kalama doing Maliko upwind and that's give me a little extra motivation!
