Kid Rock & a couple of Red Wings players on SUP

[AirJunky]

In light of the Eddie Vedder thread.... I ran across this bit last night. Apparently Detroit has their own celebrity spokesmen on SUP too.

Chris Chelios has been doing standup for years.  He trains with Laird Hamilton:

"Chelios's training days don't end when he returns to his beachfront Malibu home. He'll often take 40-mile bike rides along the Pacific Coast Highway, then spend the afternoon paddle-surfing for as much as 16 miles in the Pacific. Usually he'll be joined by his neighbor and big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton -- or by his 18-year-old son, Dean. "Paddling is underrated as an exercise," says the 5' 11", 191-pound Chelios of the ancient Hawaiian technique of standing on a 12-foot-long board while paddling with a seven-foot oar. "It's a real workout when you're dealing with waves or going against the wind. The paddle is like a hockey stick used for balance and steering. Paddling works everything: legs, stomach, shoulders, back."

It's actually a lot like hockey.  You're sliding around on water with a stick (like he says above)--they just freeze the water for hockey.

Looks like the Red Wings stars and Kid Rock they are on a couple of Surftech Lairds...

So come to find out this American Badass beer is actually his own brewery.

And to make it even better, the guy has some very noble reasons for starting it.

Their slogan is pretty funny:     

It's the difference between being a badass and a dumb one... 
Please Drink Responsibly.

I wonder if he keeps his Winstons in that butt pack?

Badass beer is O.K., it will do once and a while.
