First Decent of the Otter Slide on a SUP

SUP on the OtterSlide GullStandUpPaddling


Today at the Gull my good friend Jaye talked me into doing the first decent of the Otter Slide on the Gull on a stand up paddle board (SUP). It was interesting. A rapid I have ran 1000's of times in my kayak and never thought of it being hard until I was standing above it on a board! SUP is an old Hawaiian form of transportation they used to surf ocean waves and such. Lately it has been slowly becoming more popular is a river running tool.

After my run Jaye made an attempt as well. We both has our stumbles and scary moments. It is a lot more difficult then it looks!
