The New York Times Reports that Stand Up Paddle is the Official summer sport of the hamptons

Best part are the comments (see below). Nice to know that SR isn't the only place with bitter and twisted folks...

I was going to call you again on fomenting class hatred until I read the NYT article and read, "Enthusiasts liken it to walking on water."

Nothing better than exercise that can elevate one's own sense of humanity to near deity levels. Reply

Trends travel fast in the modern age. I wouldn't say it's the leisure activity de rigueur just yet, but we've spotted many here in the inland northwest. And Mrs. Eskeya has expressed interest. :/ I'll stick with canoeing because it's easier to bring along a six pack.

Not seen in photo: Rich lady's private valet, who will paddle board back to shore while she rides in on gold-and-diamond-encrusted Boston Whaler.

Stand Up Paddling is way less of an adrenaline rush than Driving Over People.

I'm just sayin...

No matter what trends come and go, the Rich will always be eating babies. It never goes out of style.

Sharks love those paddlers. Just sayin'.

Thanks Laird.

Martha Stewart should start a SUP line, and have a SUP lineup service.
Turkey sandwiches on kaiser buns with parsley garnish and aioli sauce, with three gherkins and fries. Choice home made peach infused iced tea, or civet coffee, All served by SUP kitchen service coolers on the SUPS. It's the Hamptons!
The lineup service would be called Thurston Howell the Turd's.

I thought it was horse-back riding with a sweater around your neck? Oh well, I'm glad I saw this article. That could have been so embarrassing. Can you imagine?

I better take some lessons. Can I still wear my sweater?

heh, he said turds.
