    No, but it looks so much fun. Maybe more calming than an adrenaline rush.

    Ive seen people with them on lakes, oceans and whitewater. Which one are you aiming form?

    Since you brought this up, come Spring time, i may rent one from REI one day.

    Well, I guess people do it on different parts of the island where it is fairly calm seas.

    If she likes it I may buy one for myself.

    I was asking to see if anyone had any ideas on how to transport them.

    Here you can see my paddleboard rack mounted on the standard Thule square bars.

    I love it. Its a great, hassle free way to transport your baords. It can hold up to 7 boards!

    Just get some Thule (I have) or Yakima crossbars, throw 2 pads on and you are good to go. I use regular tie down straps, just make sure you wrap the board so it doesn't slide forward/back. If you're stacking boards, buy a swimming noodle and cut in 3 pieces and use that as padding in between.

    Friend of mine from Hawaii was trying to get me to go but it never happened. Looks like a blast though and seems like a good workout at the same time.
