I have been in the water in Alaska while salmon fishing and I though that my heart stopped.

 THese guys are insane.

Is there a first SUP in the line up?

Thanks for the link. One of the guys in Laird’s crew said that he has some new sick footage heliboarding/surfing /Supping from his recent trip to Alaska.  I am not sure when the video is due for release, but I think this fall.

seeing that glacier come down just makes me cringe. just watching someone surfing in ice flows gives me an ice cream headache.

no doubt some of you have seen this oldie but goodie... actually it's pure dynamite!
whoever invented the hole... knew nothing.

I love this one.  I wonder if we could combine the message (be creative) and the medium (youtube) to create a unique standup zone video competition, featuring user submissions and judged by a poll.

When Kealii and Garrett came back from the trip they came to my office and showed me all the footage.    It was crazy!      They had a SUP board I made for them there but as you can see, trying to SUP that was a no way proposition.    You wouldn't be able to predict where to line up and the wave would mow you down!       The whole event was very crazy and they told me they didn't have any plans to do it again.....

Aloha,
Blane
