Was in my SUP 'bucket' list of things to do and with the wind NW and the day free, I took a mate on his first SUP experience out to Botany Bay and along the runway.

Heaps fun, those planes are just BULL$%IT amazing.

A must for anyone who likes to flat water paddle.

We were on the water for over 2 hours and I culled the footage to just over 20 minutes worth that I wanted to keep. The pilot's just about all opened the cockpit windows for a wave and we're pretty sweet about us being out there....the Feds, Security and Water Police all came by to check us out even though we primarily stayed out of the exclusion zone, the GoPro on the Gath helmet maybe looked a bit suss / terrorism intel gathering !

Bloody awesome, gotta do that soon.
We used to time our runs on slalom boards so that you have a drag race with them as they started their take off roll. In a strong nor-easter you could fang down the runway until around the 30 knot mark and then they would just blow you away.
Funny watching all the faces at the windows going WTF!!!

Great stuff
