Lower Micos SUP.. Stand Up Paddling

Published by under Mexico Whitewater

The lower Micos is a gem of a run here in the Huasteca region of Mexico.  It is often overlooked, much like the Lower gauley, because of the 7 waterfalls upstream.  The run is an amazing class 2-3 section with about 25 rapids.  Since river SUP came on the scene, it has given us a new means to enjoy these easy sections of river.

There is a very nice hole about half way through the run.  it is a class 3 hydraulic with an island next to it.

You can run this drop multiple times.  right now with high levels it takes 1.5 hours to finish the run.

SUP in North Carolina with Stand up Paddle Surf Blue Ridge.

Published by under Uncategorized

Hurricane Earl was calling our names.   We left for Myrtle beach with hopes for some offshore breeze and some big ole swell.  Our good friend Chris from SUP Blue Ridge

  http://www.surfblueridge-sup.com/

grabbed us some boards and we were off to the sea.

Thursday morning we head to Holden beach with hurricane Earl just offshore.  the hurricane was sending a swell of about 10 and the winds were 15 miles an hour and offshore.   In other words….PERFECT.

It was an amazing day.

We had some great rides and some great beat downs too.

The waves were powerful but very ridable.  The ride out was half the fun, we punched through foam piles 6 feet tall.

Soon we’ll be in Mexico and the SUP river exploration will begin.  Until next time.

SUP ing the Waterfalls of Rio Micos.

Published by under Mexico Whitewater

As most everyone knows, here in Mexico we have warm water and an abundance of clean waterfalls.  I decided to take the SUP board out and see if any of the falls were good to go.   Click on the link below to see the video…
