SUP legend Rick Weeks (“SUP the Creek”) joins for a wide-ranging SUP Surf Session covering technique, mindset, and gear through the lens of a 78 y.o. surfer. Weeks explains his “drop-up” method, where to find the eject button, and how to prevent your board and body from breaking. We talk style, respect, and surfing with rhythm. And we also get into some of inspiration behind his board design collaborations with Sunova. And finally he shares how surfing helped him rebuild his life after losing everything at 62. It’s never too late to re-invent yourself.
