Board Porn Part II: Some SUP some LDS

I learned this one way down south at the La Ventana Classic in southern Baja: LDS. Do you know what that stands for? Nope, not the guys who ride the bikes with helmets, slacks and short sleeve white shirts. LDS is Lay Down Surf.

So for those of us who also like to (occasionally) regular surf (what?) we can save the three minute explanation and just call it LDS. As in, "It was super low tide and beefy with a bunch of LDS guys out- so instead of doing stand up I grabbed my 6'1" and went LDS." Get it?

Board Porn II: Lots of LDS boards and another surf star.

Some solid human beings right there...lots of LDS, but wait- isn't that my SUP board?
