Being on a SUP you can see what is underneath you, especially with polaroids. A little while ago was paddling across Byron near Clarkes and picking up some small waves. Had two bronzies two metres directly under me- the dozens of surfers body boarders and swimmers were oblivious. At Wategos in same week saw three small sharks in one day-also saw some mack tuna chase and eat garfish and a hundred deep school of juvenile eagle rays- which was cool. Funny thing is I had surfed in the same spots hundreds of times for many years on a short board and longboard and never saw a shark or much else apart from dolphins and turtles.

always see lots of stingrays, occasional seals, fish galore, dolphins and longboarders

u see so much more when your supping, its half the joy, especially on rare glass days... fantastic.


I hardly see anything when i'm windsurf,maybe ocasional dolphin or seal .


best things i have seen are flying fish and a white pointer.
