Stand up paddling is becoming very popular out West here in California.

We see it here in Northern California as well, I was surprised to see a few in the Delta. Nice shot!

The craze has hit the east coast of US as well. Personally, I would want a kayak. Maybe even a canoe. I like the way you handled the photograph. Just dark enough to keep interest and show some detail. Very atmospheric. Your previous posts have also inspired me. You certainly have a unique way of looking at the world and it seems to be a very positive view. Thanks.

Thanks so much ebrunner for your positive comments. When you said "previous photo" I presume you were talking about the concert photo right? I'm glad my photos have inspired you. That is one of my goals here on UHH.........to inspire and get people thinking outside of the box.........NO BORING PHOTOS ! lol NO "snapshots"!
I also agree with you that a kayak or canoe would be more fun......but I have not tried the paddleboard thing yet. It seems like a natural thing for me to get into it since I've been a surfer for most of my life. Thanks again ebrunner for your input.

They're out on Lake Michigan in Chicago too
Yeah CHG_CANON, it seems like it is the latest fad or craze everywhere. I wonder what it will be like in about 5 years? Do you think it will be as popular? Any place that has water has them.........Hmmmmmmmmmmm I'm wondering if people ride them on streams and rivers? How about white water rivers?
Here in California I've photographed some really good paddleboarders surfing the waves. Here is one of the links to this:

That I don't know. I was out in a swam of dragonflies on the lake front (pretty much wasting time as they wouldn't land or stay steady enough for me to focus ...) and turned around to see these guys going by one morning a few weeks ago ....latest fad

Great shot! I took the liberty to download your photo and bump up the levels a little to see what it would do to the background.
