What You See When You NightSUP

This is a daytime video Tyler from Cape Ann SUP took by the Boulevard yesterday.  In the NightSUP photos below of Evelyn Howe and your’s truly, although you can’t see it in these photos taken by Violet Gray, we were encompassed by thousands of little fish which actually leaped up onto our boards and feet trying to escape the gang of stripers that were hunting them.  Pretty amazing to experience the drama of ocean life up close and personal like that, especially in the dark.  The fish seemed to be telling each other to “go into the Light”.   It was particularly bizarre paddling through a thick stew of live fish, hearing and feeling them beating against your board and paddle, and having to keep pushing them off the board so they could either swim free and live or end up dinner for a striper.  It is getting late this season for people to try this for the first time, but if you have done SUP and haven’t done a NightSUP, you owe it to yourself to experience it.  It is a trip.  The air is getting chilly, but the water is still warm.

    1. Hi Paul, yes, this summer has been so much more fun than last year when I was just tied to the gallery and didn’t get to do much. I have missed seeing you this year.

  1. As amazing as it’s been beginning our days with Tyler and his boards, NightSUP ROCKS! Violet’s laughter ringing out through the quiet night was total proof (not that we needed it). Day or night, it’s a fantastic way to spend time out on the water and so much better than working out in the gym!
