Sunset Standup paddle big wave contest

this newest board sport call Standup paddle is growing so fast! now they have a world tour and ran the first event in Sunset.
They had the real Sunset condition and they fully charged the waves.
most of them are already great big wave surfers who can handle this or pipe or Waimea or outer reefs but man! with standup board attchd to your leg, I don't think you want to get worked or dragged in this kind of wave.
I was so excited to see how the guys do and tried to follow the results etc, and came up with this shot of Kala Alexander on the internet.
whew, pretty intense. when you think you are getting better. evryone else is getting better 5 times faster than you. well more like 10 times fastr than me!

Just wonder how far it is going to go, I already see many maui guys riding way more aggressive than last year. I guess it is nice to have guys who can make the trail for you so you have a long long trail to follow . The fun ever ends that way.
