Actually this isn't a paddleboard the Duke is riding. Well it is but it's an Australian surf ski (or an early version of it) that was brought to him as a gift. These early versions had a flat top ratherthan a cockpit so the riders stood on them rather than sit like modern surf skis. Notice he's using a double bladed paddle that's tethered to the craft. Also a lot of people erroneously think Duke is the first to ride this craft standing and it's just not true. You can do a Google search and you will find out this was a common activity in Australia (standing on a surf ski). Also this is really not the catalyst that started modern day SUP as a lot of people seem to think. No disrespect to the Duke at all but he is not the inventor of what we now call SUP. Him doing this may have inspired others to grab a single blade paddle on a surf boardlike JohnZapatocky, but this really is a different activity. Modern day SUP is a whole separate entity which would may or may not stillexist whether or not anyone stood on this type of craft using a double blade paddle.

Does anyone know who owns this footage? I'd like to license a few clips for a project I'm working on.
