A couple weekends ago my six-year-old son Luke and I competed in a competition called the Intracoastal SUP Cup. Basically it’s a 3.5-mile race circumnavigating Harbor Island in Wrightsville Beach, NC. There were maybe 50 racers competing but I was the only one racing with a passenger on board. Luke and I regularly paddle my 12-foot Walden around the intracoastal waterways near our home, so when news of this event came out, my wife suggested we both race together. We did and we had a blast. My Walden is such a cruiser that we easily broke through the upwind chop and hauled ass along the downwind section to a 10th place finish—definitely a father-son memory that neither of us will ever forget.
