Stand up paddle surfing all the way brother! You'd never believe what they are doing on open ocean swells here in Hawaii. Phenomenal. They'll ride those things for miles, carving and turning. I got my first stand up paddle surfboard over a year ago and I haven't pulled out any of my other traditional surfboards since. www.supsurfmag.com is a good resource to see what it's all about.
