After all the recent excitement and buzz around the Battle of the Paddle, and then the World Series Finals, it’s good to slow it down for a moment and watch something that just makes you appreciate not only SUP racing, but stand up paddling in general…

Here’s a vid from last month’s Great Lakes SUP Classic in Holland, Michigan, where the Robotic Olympian Larry Cain and Quickblade’s Jimmy Terrell showed that older guys have still got it, while the whole event showed that SUP racing still has a soul.

We missed this when it was released last week, but better late than never. Watch it. Now. It’ll make you wanna go race, or even just go for a fun and relaxing paddle… Oh and it’s also got a Sufjan Stevens soundtrack. What more do you need?
