——Expedition Florida 500 edition Tahoe SUP board

The first Expedition Florida 500 (XF500) special edition Tahoe SUP board will soon hit the waters of Florida for training runs in preparation of the year long expedition that will start in 2013.  XF500, which brings together the forces of the non-profit Mother Ocean, Quiksilver Waterman Collection, and        Tahoe SUP, is a modern-day exploration of Florida’s coastline, waterways, and aquatic ecosystem as seen through the eyes of the waterman.  The team’s primary goal, which will consist of waterman from all three organizations,   is to highlight the importance of stewardship efforts as they relate to the ocean, coastlines, waterways, and the marine ecosystem.

Mother Ocean’s founder and Tahoe SUP ambassador, Justin Riney, will be the first paddler on the new board and will be announcing training runs throughout Florida in preparation for XF500.
