Thailand SUP Flood Relief Sept 2011.m4v

Stand Up Paddle-boards used to deliver food and supplies to houses in Thailand's Flooded provinces. Thank you to all the companies and people who sponsored this effort and especially to K. Jart for this inspiring idea. Have since done a second trip using old windsurfing boards which we left behind for the village. There will be many more trips like this needed to by made by smaller paddle teams going to really hard to reach places with small boat support.

Put this together very quickly - would like to thank K. Solar for his video and K. Kiwi, Jenna, Craig and Siri and K. Joe and his wife - for the photos.

Also like to thank everyone who donated, supplies and money or took time of work to come and help. really a drop in the ocean considering millions of people have lost their homes, possessions livelihoods and in many cases loved ones. But definitely a move in the right direction to use sports equipment and skills to make a difference.
