Sydney 1936
« on: May 13, 2016, 09:30:00 AM »
I'm sure some of you have seen this before.  We've all seen the two or three clips of Duke on standing in his ski but this was already a thing in Australia.  Whether or not it planted any seed to modern day SUP we'll probably never know but it's interesting to me that people were doing something so similar such a long time ago.

Yep.  The surfski was a gift from some Australians who came to Hawaii for some demos.
