Behind the scenes at the Charleston magazine photo shoot


Behind the scenes at Shem Creek Boat Landing

It's always a pleasure working with a talented photographer. Yesterday's late afternoon photo shoot for Charleston magazine's upcoming "Water" issue (June) was at first terrifying, and then a real treat. With tornado warnings in effect, Charleston-based photographer Ben Williams didn't feel like we should reschedule due to "a little wind." Obviously he's not a regular SUP'er! But we were good sports and did what he said, including stripping down to shorts and bikinis in the rain for the first round of portraits at Red's Icehouse as the happy hour crowd poured in. The clouds eventually parted and the lighting was perfect for a group paddle session at Shem Creek Boat Landing.
It's good that Charleston's local media have finally taken an interest in standup paddleboarding and her growing community. With so many rich waterways and calm beaches, there's no reason this can't be a top SUP destination.
Look for Charleston magazine's June issue featuring locals who live to surf and standup paddleboard. With Ben Williams behind the lens, it's sure to be a beautiful sight.
