I just bought a Yolo Stand Up Paddle board after using a demo for a few days. I wasn't sure if I would like it because I am a short boarder. I ride a 6'2" and a 5"11" fish...so this is a big difference. I found that I can get in the water and experience a different aspect and at the same time get an incredible workout that simulates my paddling for surfing. I also paddled in the gulf with litterally 6" waves and was able ot surf them and have fun!! I also went through some of the dune lakes which was really cool. I am buying an attachment to clamp on the front that hold rods and tackle, so I can fish from it in the bay and Gulf. Check out Yoloboard.com they are incredible. You can get demo boards if you want to try the sport and aren't sure if you will really like it.
