Perseid meteor shower/paddle surf....sound fun?

This is an activity that I wish I could do...but 1st I have to learn how to paddle surf. :( Not even sure if it's possible? Can you surf in the dark? You need to be away from the city lights...around 2 am...is the best time to view it. I hope someone experienced does this and tell me all about it! (Tip: if you can find a lake by a mountain, that's ideal).

If your at the beach make sure to count your sets so you can get out past the break easier inbetween waves. Also make sure to wear a PDF and a leash. Have you EVER gone SUPing? What kind of water conditions are you dealing with?

Comment by NOVA on August 4, 2009 at 10:40pm: You didn't mention if you actually have night paddled...or even tried this activity? (excuse me...but I'm new to the jargon and semantics...so I obviously make up my own phrases). And wooh, you also didn't read the prologue...otherwise you'd know that I won't be counting any sets soon inbetween the waves...because: a. have no idea what PDF or SUP stands for b. don't have a board yet c. I said (in my bio) I was one step below beginner
I think this site is mainly for people who are advanced students...for you-all to share pics and stories. Maybe everyone that's a SUP is an amphibian, but I actually do step off the water...and in the mountains the meteor shower is amazing, so I thought it be even more amazing watching from the water. I do hope you or someone who actually has a board, tries this and tells me all about the experience.

Please go to my inbox, and read my comment, I am too embarressed to rewrite my comment. thanks.
