: LOL!!! Looks like he's using a windsurfer. Nescessity is the mother
: of invention.

: Actually I am working now on a displacement-hulled SUP for distance
: racing so don't put it past me.

Any thought being given to a support for the paddler? Long distance racing could be hard on the back and legs. A seat would be awkward, but what about a single pole with a cross bar at the top. it could be fitted into a scupper hole in the deck and propped at an angle so the crossbar was about hp high, and the paddler could brace back against it.
Or maybe something like a bicycle seat mounted by a long post to the SUP.

It could be called a SUPport !

Always thinkin' of ya.
