Check out this great little interview with full-time stand up paddler and part-time Tarzan body double, Fernando Stalla.

The Rogue SUP team rider has a solid reputation for adding plenty of flair (and a few other things) to every SUP race he’s at. But Fernando is also one of the most talented guys on the water, regularly saluting at both SUP racing and surfing events (remember that time he won the Payette River Games?).

We’ll see Fernando in action next month at the ISA event, when the rest of the paddling world descends on his home town of Sayulita for the 2015 World Stand Up Paddle and Paddleboard Championship.
