Let's see pics of your favorite flatwater places

Very cool. Thanks. Found a couple of videos and one is of you doing your thing. I could have used your expertise during my last trip to Victoria BC.  The kayaking vid shows how big it can get at deception pass with tides and some wind. 9 knots is a strong current for SUP during a tidal exchange. I paddled to Chatham and Discovery Island a few times when I was staying in Victoria and it was trial by fire. Different conditions for each time I went out according to tide and wind. Max current in Baynes channel where I was paddling is 6 knots, so 9 knots at Discovery Pass in a narrow with wind is major. I did alright off the coast of Victoria but quickly realized that being caught in a tidal race is no joke, and was thankful It was only a few kilometres to shore.

This is from Marsh Creek State Park in Chester County, PA, USA.  Yesterday there were few people and lots of wildlife.  Saw my first PA mink (that was alive) and spent too much time photographing and not enough time paddling.

Two more from Marsh Creek.  Sorry, these photos are not good, I rented a point and shoot, I'm too scared to bring my good DSLR on a board.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing!

lisabears...
plenty of time for paddling.... enjoying an abundance of wildlife is always the winner in my book.
Just being is a place so peaceful that the animals emerge, is just totally awesome!

Really nice to see everyone's pictures.
Here's one from last week

Really enjoy seeing your photos. It's always a pleasure for me to view anyone's photos. I'm just glad people like yourselves share them since posting photos takes a little work on this site.

Horsetooth Ache race on Saturday, a half marathon which is primarily for crew and scull, but tow of us SUPs get to play.

I made it to the tun around point at 6.5 miles and decided to give the poor support boat with me the rest of the day off and have a beer.  The other SUP was over a mile in front of me and working hard into the rising headwind.  He was also half my age on a carbon fiber racing board, so it was cool to watch him going for it.  I just particpated, no racing.

Posting pics is pretty easy on my computer using Microsoft Picture Manager.  From my camera I simply resize, compress, save and post. Takes about a minute. Anything I have already saved can be posted anytime. Takes about ten seconds.

Since I use linux Mint 18 as my default computer operating system, I'll see if there is linux version of Microsoft Picture Manager or a linux equivalent program or utility. If both options are unavailable for linux, I might have to go into my Boot Menu (my two desktop tower computers have two hard drives in each of them) to access my Windows 7 hard drive and download the Microsoft Picture Manager.

Just saw these - nice pictures.  My wife and I usually SUP in Lake Nockamixon (or Lake Galena if we're in a hurry).  Maybe March Creek would be a nice place to explore too.  What's it like in the summer?  Crowded?
