First Time SUP Surfing

My first time stand up paddle surfing. I have a new found respect for you SUPers, I didn't think it would be this hard. LOL I was challenged by a few things:

1) couldn't paddle straight when I needed to. So it was hard catching waves.
2) couldn't gauge the wave properly. From the higher vantage point, all the waves looked like they were going to break before me. Timing was difficult.
3) falling with the paddle was awkward. Surfing with the paddle was odd too in some cases.
4)very very very fatiguing. More than I thought. Half my footage, which I didn't post, was me sitting because I was so extremely tired.

It was fun though. The board I'm on is a NSP CoCoFlax or something. don't know the exact length or volume. I'll look the next time I have the board.
