Apologies for the acronym - Stand Up Paddleboard. The one passage I was on with this guy, the SUP was not towed, it was lashed on top of the tramp just inside the 'ama (outrigger) on one side, with the front end resting on the 'iako (crossbeam). Worked OK on broad reaches and downwind. Got flogged and drenched a bit on closer reaches when the wind was stiff and that 'ama was on the down side and mostly submerged and the chop and swells were bigger. cheers, John S.

Speaking of unusual dinghy choices (not that yours is unusual, Jazz :-) - I know a guy who uses a SUP for his "dinghy." It's a custom SUP by Gary Young in Hawai'i, with a bit of a cargo recess with bungee cargo net in front and removable recess cover in rear, some bungee hold-downs, etc.. Also fun to be towed behind the boat on! Almost lost my shorts one time...

Hi all, for anyone that's interested here's a short 3 min video of the inflatable I bought in case you're looking.. sorry I forgot to shoot the motor mount. It also comes with 2 seats and the paddles and pump. No bag! Luckily I have a handy dandy laundry bag it goes right in...
