I recently caught up with Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) surfer Tarryn Kyte for a couple of shoots. First we did some water shooting down at Muizenberg and then a little while later some land shooting down in Kommetjie. We did not get the best of conditions to shoot in but we tried to make the most of what we had.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Tarryn Kyte<\/em><\/p>\n Tarryn is currently training for the ISA world SUP games in Nicaragua in May where she will be representing South Africa.<\/p>\n In between shoots we had a quick chat.<\/p>\n 1) Why SUP? What\u2019s so special about it?<\/strong> 2) Do you Remember where, when, why and how you started with the SUP<\/strong> <\/a>Ripping the long lefts of Longbeach<\/em><\/p>\n 3) You are due to represent South Africa at Worlds shortly. Are you excited about representing your country?<\/strong> 4) What are you looking forward to the most about worlds<\/strong> 5) How is the trainig going?<\/strong> <\/a> <\/a>Quick surfs in-between work<\/em><\/p>\n 6) Sadly due to lack of funds you are expected to cover the cost involved with representing your country. How is the fund-raising going?<\/strong> Check out Tarryn Kyte Coreban Team rider face book for more info!<\/a>\u00a0 (click link)<\/p>\n 7) Future goals in regards to SUPing<\/strong> 8) Describe your average day?<\/strong>
\nAaah, its just too much fun :)Its just so versatile you can SUP in waves, wind and when it’s flat. Never get bored!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI started SUP’ing when I went to WATCH SA champs in Table view the one year and Gary Van Rooyen said to me, here’s a board and a paddle, now go surf your heat, as there were not enough ladies yet \ud83d\ude42 And that was that \ud83d\ude09 Thanks Gary<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWOW, I am beyond excited! Such an honor! It has been my goal for years to try and make the SA team for long boarding and have always just missed it, so this is definitely something to tick off my bucket list \ud83d\ude42 WOOOOHOOOOO!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI think just the whole vibe, honor and experience! Going to be an amazing trip:)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSheesh, training is hectic, trying to do as much as I can at least its still fun \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe fundraising is going brilliantly, so overwhelmed by all the SUPport (haha, excuse the pun) There still a couple of raffle tickets left if anyone is interested \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWell hopefully get onto the SUP world tour and do a couple of international contests.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAt the moment it consists of wakeup, check windguru, SUP, work, SUP on lunch break, work, SUP!!!!!!!! LOVE IT \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n
