The consumer confidence index is up in Washington, DC…and, all across this country…at least, in regards to SUP and staycations…

We had a family visit our shop recently to pick out a quiver of SUP’s to ship back to their home in Washington, DC for use on the Potomac River…

This is nothing new to us…as we’ve been shipping standup paddle boards to both sides of the aisle in our nation’s capitol for years…

You definitely can’t judge a book by it’s cover…people of ALL political persuasions LOVE standup paddling…;-)

We customized a dry bag carrying system for this gorgeous wood Starboard SUP…

A lot of work goes into board and paddle shipment preparation…but, our shipping department is the best in the SUP business…

Our VP/CFO takes her job seriously…she’s running back into the shop to do a last minute check of the pick list for this order…

Making progress on the shipment…in between selling another half dozen boards, and setting them up for our local walk-in clients and out of county travelers…it was a busy day yesterday…but, we’re not complaining….keep it coming…;-)

All crated up for the cross-country journey to the land of the founding fathers…

Rumor has it that President Obama has enjoyed standup paddling on one of his trips back to Hawaii…who knows…maybe he’ll bring a little island style SUP aloha back to the White House…and, spread the SUP love all over the world…one can only dream…NO FORKS…NO NUKES…;-)
