The Inertia

Imagine this: you’re standing on a board that is constantly and randomly shifting beneath your feet. The roar of the water is deafening, while large exposed rocks, ledges, and tree trunks appear around every bend. If you fall, scratch that, WHEN you fall, the ride doesn’t stop. It never stops.

This is the gnarly sport of White Water SUP, and like gravity, the madness never takes a break!
