Just been wondering if anyone thought it possible to surf a ship swell, with a SUP, and follow it down or up river. If one lost the swell, he/she could paddle back onto it. _________________ (>====<|>---< genek Since 21 Jul 2006 2165 Posts East Po KGB Thu Sep 25, 08 3:12 pm     People have surfed ship swells on longboards in the Great Lakes and even in Portland. Should be even easier on a SUP. Try it at Sauvies next time and get some video. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ chanson Since 31 Jan 2006 1874 Posts WISCONSIN Chimey Thu Sep 25, 08 3:18 pm     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vka2YueWMl0 PDX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJbZBFzfD04&feature=related WISCONSIN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XGJDd45_XY&feature=related UP-LAKE SUPERIOR _________________ Shallow Dive Design, 2nd Wind Sports, Airush, Trident Sports vangondc Since 03 Jul 2008 105 Posts Hood River Stoked CGKA Member Thu Sep 25, 08 4:03 pm     I have seen video of people doing it in Texas when the tankers com in. If you want to do it with a kite try the wave right behind the paddle wheeler when its hauling up river. It's sweet!!! It seams to come by on Sunday eavenings. There is also some other videos on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96tr15JF1C0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNuf5ryaJaQ DrewB Since 16 Aug 2006 385 Posts PDX Obsessed Thu Sep 25, 08 4:13 pm     Surfing gutless waves gets old pretty quick.
