SUP Photos of the Week: 9/30–10/6

Last week was some sort of a rest period for stand-up paddleboard events after a busy September schedule. Despite the lack of action, we were still able to compile some awesome photos for the opening week of October. From amazing scenic locations in Canmore, Alberta, to the crazy consequences of mother nature, last week still produced many photo worthy moments. Finally, here are some of the best photos for the first week of the beer month!

We have no idea how the sailbot ended on the wrong side of the river. It seems like the owner could have been drunk, consequently creating a new dock for the poor boat.

A casual paddler seems to have caught the eye of a curious onlooker. Most probably a manatee looking for attention!

There is only two ways to reach this restaurant in Panama, it’s either by boat, or a stand-up paddleboard.
