Thong for paddling... If you chose to lie down on the board in the middle of the lake you might be able to get away with being in the buff. Just be aware of the natural drift of the water and potential passers-by in other boats or boards.

Don't forget the party floats. Nothing like a full cooler and young people spending the day on the lake without ever coming ashore.... Ya guys and chicks pissing in the water. I call them out when I see them doing it.

I have been windsurfing in a thong since 1980, both in the islands and Florida.  
When paddle boarding became a thing I regularly wear a thong when paddleboarding. 

At large boat parties, like Columbus Day Regatta near Elliot Key south of Miami, paddleboarding in a thong, sunning buns while threading through the rafts of boats is generally well received, even for an old guy like me. 
People offer me drinks, invite me on their boats or floats, and offer food. When returning to the mothership, several hours later, others ask me if I am not thirsty, Nope. Got as much food and drink as I could handle offered by people from other boats.

That's great JM! I would love to experience that! I like to paddle board up here in the springs and rivers around Ocala, Fl. I wear a thong but quickly cover up with a speedo when someone comes by! Trying to get the nerve up to not do that but there are too many rednecks up here! Lol. I usually take a cooler for my own refresh ments because I'm out all day. There's nothing like being on a SUP and being able to just jump right in the cool water then back up again. I also take mask and snorkel. Alexander springs run is one of my favorites because it's wider and least amount of people.

You are right about the level of red-necks in Ocala. North Florida is a strange land. About ten years ago I wore a thong at Rainbow Springs on a couple of occasions. Was with a very pretty women who also wore a thong, so that might have helped. Being a state park we probably should not have, but did not get into trouble. 
I think people are less concerned when you paddle by, or run by, because you are not perceived as lurking.  So go for it. Unless it is an all male group you are likely to get a few smiles of cheers from the women.

Went paddleboarding during the week of the 4th this month.

I rented an inflatable board from the local university rec center and drove it to the Great Salt Lake marina. People overlook the recreation opportunities of the GSL, so I find I often have the place to myself. I also find the surreal landscape somehow makes a man in a thong seem not so out of the ordinary. (One time I watched a young, beautiful nude European couple very happily wandering the beach taking photos with a DSLR, very much in view of the rest of the beachgoers.) Nudity and thongs are illegal in Utah, but Utahns tend to be very polite, and the outdoors crowd in particular is very laid back.

The marina is a state park with parking, a prefab building housing a visitors center, some restrooms, a concession stand, and a very small harbor filled with sailboats. Most of these facilities are visible from each other. There were several groups of visitors milling around at the visitors' center including obvious out-of-towners and some families.

I arrived wearing a tank top and a thong under some semi-sheer short shorts. I got my board and gear set up and moved down to dock near the boat ramp, much to the curiosity of some Asian tourists. I launched, still wearing my cover-up shorts and paddled about halfway out of the harbor.

There didn't seem to be anyone watching me anymore, so slipped off the shorts and kept paddling. A small nature trail runs along the rocks protecting the harbor, and anyone who had been hiking it and came around the corner would have been able to seem me at very close range, but nobody did.

As I cleared the harbor and came about, I saw small number of people on the observation platform quite a ways away. I figured some with very keen eyesight might have had some idea of what I was wearing since I could just make out what some of them were wearing. However, the platform has a couple of those permanent binoculars set on gimbals that you see sometimes at lookout points, and I saw both pointed at me at various times.

I paddled well out into the lake to where I was completely alone. I spent hours paddling in the sun. At one point I took a break, sitting on my board and ate a sandwich and some fruit. When I saw my water was halfway gone, I turned around and headed back.

On the return trip I went closer to the shore, but the lake is so shallow and its dropoff so gradual that within 1/4 mile of the shore, your paddle can start brushing the sand. I paddled past Saltair where a small handful of people milled around dipping their feet in the water, probably just barely within range where someone could see I wasn't wearing much.

As I approached the harbor, I elected not to cover up. I saw a different set of Asian visitors pointing a large lensed camera at me for quite some time. I came around to the entrance and approached the dock. Halfway there, I slipped my shorts back on.

It was a glorious day, probably the longest I've ever spent in a thong out on the water.

I’m happy to be back to my routine of hitting the lake a couple times a week for some sun and exercise. Not a bad way to keep  my tan and self in shape at the same time. I really have enjoyed this  instead of being on a super small beach at the lake.   I’ve already been out one time this week and will be out again shortly today. I really haven’t had any incidence of any type except few people taking pictures every once in a while. I’ve had a couple good conversations with  A couple ladies out on the lake and so it’s been very encouraging all the way around. 

 I’m hoping to encourage others to join in on the fun if they see me out there enough maybe I’ll get someone to try...

How about sit-down paddle boating? Saw a thong couple on Lake Calhoun (Bde Mka Ska?) in a rented paddle boat having a nice day. You can also rent paddle boards and canoes there too.

It wouldn’t be a major holiday weekend unless I hit the lake for a few hours of paddle boarding in my thong. It’s been a great summer using my new paddleboard and getting out. I’ve usually been able to get out once or twice a week with one being on the weekend. This Labor Day weekend I was out on Saturday morning; it was calm, cool, and sunny. I caught the sun on my backside on on the way out to my destinations and by the time I was on my way back, I got it mostly on my backside again as the sun was up higher.  I will have to say that I really have heard no negative comments from anyone all year and that was kind of surprising. I’ve heard a few people exclaimed “he’s in a thong” to their surprise as I’ve not seen any other thongs out on the lake in boats or otherwise.   

I usually go out in some tight fitting, short shorts and takeoff from the launch point in them and then strip down to my thong a couple minutes later. If there’s nobody at the launch site when I’m leaving or coming in I will usually just take my shorts off there.  I don’t mind if someone sees me in my thong when I’m on land, I’m just wanting to be a bit more conservative at that point as it is a launch area for a lot of kayaks and the hikers.   As I’m on the lake, other people are on paddle boards and kayaks people on the hiking trail and boats of all types. Sometimes I get a nice wave and a “woop” but in most cases it’s a simple head nod and people going on about their day. Some may detour their original route and some boats and jet skis come back for a second look.   I  always act as nonchalant as anybody else would on a paddle board. I am friendly and will say good morning to people as I passed them, ask a question about how their fishing is going if I am really close to a fishing boat, and I am as confident has anybody else out there.  There’s only been a few occasions that I modified my route to avoid a large family group or gathering of people on shore. It’s not that I think it will be a problem, just avoiding a higher potential for them bothering me or vice versa. 

I have only had a pair of women on a Jet ski that asked me about my thong and that was the first couple times that was out on the lake. It was Memorial Day weekend on that Saturday. They wanted me to come by for a drink later and come back out and about on the lake again that week in my thongs. I haven’t seen them since and I have been by there frequently so I’m wondering if they were just done for the week. 

Overall it has been a great way to get some sun on my Bunz and a great workout for a couple hours.  I have at least another month of good weather for that.

For a number of years I have used my old, and rather unstable, windsurfer I used for paddle boarding. More stable with the board down.

Recently I got a pair of 11'6" inflatable boards. I have been taking one of them out in the early evenings, after the heat, between 4 and 6 to catch the last of the sun. I do about 5 miles around the canals between the islands where I live. Several pleasant greetings from people on shore and boats, no negative comments. 

Generally there is a more lasafare attitude towards swimsuits and thongs on boats. Women who might not wear a thong on the beach or go topless frequently do on boats. It is not unusual to see powerboats decked out with topless "bow candy".  

My house is on one of the islands so I can launch from my dock out back.  This gives me some exercise without going out on the roads or getting near other people. I see people out in their backyards, in their pools, on their boats, laying out in the sun, or just sitting in the shade. A few call out a friendly greeting, but most just wave in a friendly way.

Here’s my experience on SUP over the past year.   I started to SUP about 13 months ago.  I have pretty good balance abilities but had really never been on one before.  I liked the idea of getting sun while thonging but not just sitting out on the beach.  I like a bit more activity than just laying out.  My local beach area on the lake is very small and I am only able to go swimming in a limited area.  At the ocean beach I go for a couple mile walks which is much more satisfying.  So last year I started on a small lake got comfortable with the SUP and wore my bikini.  Did that a few times and grew in comfort with both.   I suggest that a new person look at YouTube videos for instruction and info (blueplanetsurf has a good set of videos).  Try renting for a couple hours and do that a couple days before you purchase if you’re unsure if this is for you. 

I was then ready for a bigger lake and went out in short shorts and my thong.   Soon after launching, I slip off my shorts and keep on going for a few miles until I get back to about 100 yards of the entry area.  There I usually put the shorts back on but not always.  I am usually up and moving and will be in clear view of houses others on SUP, kayaks, fishermen, and boaters.  There’s not a lot of hiding out there when you are on your board.  I get some waves, short conversations, or appreciative shouts from passing boats.  BTW, I have not had any negative feedback from anyone.  I have seen women in thongs who are on the lakes but they were only on instagram posts and they are certainly not prevalent in our area.  

I have a few lakes close to home and I try to hit them twice a week for sun and clearing my mind.  Combining both activities is therapeutic for me.  I drive up 20-35 minutes to the launch area so it’s not in my backyard.  

For my equipment I have an 11’ inflatable board that is very stable and I have only fallen off a couple times in rough water.  I often jump off for a cool down swim.  I use a direct connected to the car battery electric pump and I am at 15 psig in less than 5 minutes.  The only way to go.  Not a problem to store or transport.  I have even taken on vacation last year to the FL Gulf Coast and loved my early morning outings.

CKWonderer, 

Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to give SUP a try. I would also totally do it in my thong! My wife’s family has a beach trip planned in June. Assuming the beaches are still open, I may see if I can rent a SUP to try out. Would be a great challenge if nothing else!

Pumping up the paddle boards. Getting ready to do some SUP in a red white and blue thong, just as soon as my date arrives. 
 4th of July so the waterways will be humming.

Out paddle boarding all morning on the 4th of July, on the busy New River, through downtown and back. With a women friend.
Out paddle boarding all morning on the 5th of July, on the busy intercostal. Alone.
Out paddle boarding all morning today, on the quieter reaches of the Middle River. With a different women friend.
Zero negative comments, lots of positive feedback. 

SUP provides good social distancing. However the last person I was out with this morning is not in my small and controlled Covid bubble.  So she did not come in the house, and I very thoroughly washed down everything she used, board, paddle, extra equipment with lots of soap and water. 

Having a pair of matching inflatable paddle boards is a great way to invite women out for the morning or afternoon. I just warn them first that I will be wearing a thong, and most try to at least wear a thong or their most cheeky bikini to match. It is easier for them to plan a few hours with you rather than a full day. It means you don't have to worry about food, dining or anything else. It is like time at the gym, but afloat.

My boards each have a life jacket and whistle under the front deck lashings, and each have a short rope for a painter. You want to have water bottles, or in today's case disposable gator aid for the guest, on a cord.

JM_Runs,

Nice set of photos of the paddle boarding.  Nice looking lady friend too!

Had a look at your photostream; the gal in the cowboy hat (Beach Friends 1) has a beautiful-looking suit.  A finely-detailed textured pattern.  I can't exactly discern the pattern from the photo, but it somewhat resembles a leopard print, only with much finer detail.  I've seen plenty of leopard prints over my lifetime, but that suit really looks great.  I don't know how cheeky the back of the suit is, but she surely turns heads wherever she goes!

Currently waiting for a young women to ping me back about going paddle boarding today.

So while I was waiting I tested the boards picture upload with a couple of pictures from a recent thong paddle boarding adventure around the canals of Fort Lauderdale. This was a quiet paddle up the less busy middle river. Not like our paddle board trip up the very busy new river on the 4th of July.

If the above link does not work go to my profile, look under Photo Album - Paddle boarding. Let me know if that works better.

I previously posted the following in the thread about double standards, and the way being with a women instead of a solo man eliminates most negative comments, then realized it had more to do with paddle boarding than comments heard, so moved it here:

If I am paddle-boarding alone I get a lot of friendly waves, nods and friendly comments.  However once in a while, like yesterday, while paddle-boarding past Las Olas Blvd, (a very busy road) some guy a bicycle loudly said "what the fuck" to the world. Not that the occasional comments by a red-neck phases me, but I do notice that when I am out paddle-boarding with a women nobody ever say anything negative. 

We might get the occasional "Oh, my god a man thong" from some women on a passing boat, but this is not meant as a shaming comment, but just to call out to the others on the boat to take a look. What most people on a motorboat don't understand is they may not be able to easily hear each other, because of the noise of their engine and wind in their faces, but sound carries well over water and we can hear everything they say. 

Most boats around here are very polite, giving paddle boarders enough space and slowing way down to idle speed when passing. This generally includes a friendly wave and smile. Partly this is boating tradition, but in general people are far more friendly when on the water than in real life, or when driving a car. 

Right now I have two women who might come paddle boarding on Saturday Morning. One I would like to come that has not committed, and another who wants to come but is for the moment on hold. Did I mention having a pair of inflatable paddle boards is a VERY good idea? I have two that are 11'6" long 30" wide and 6" thick.  $255 each, including pump, paddle and bag from Ebay.

I’ve been out on the board at several different lakes in the South East, at the Florida Gulf Coast of the past 18 months. When I go out I am definitely in the main stream of the standard traffic of the waterways.  Sometimes the areas have more personal watercraft.  I’ve been to the three hours out at a time and usually login over 4 to 7 miles on a trip. As you can probably expect I passed by a number of different paddle border, kayakers, all types of boats, jet skis, fisherman, and people on the beach and I can honestly say that there has been zero negative reaction to anything that I have worn out on the water.

I am just another person enjoying the sun and water and getting a good workout at the same time. I have always give me a little wave or saying good morning or good afternoon if I’m close enough for someone to hear. I sometimes get some shouts or whistles or even someone trying to get a better look again with another pass by. It’s all good! The fact that I’m wearing a thong doesn’t mean anything else. So I encourage others to break loose and try something that you might not have done in the past.

I’ve posted a few more pictures in my SUP album from the past few weeks.

Fort Lauderdale: I was out paddle boarding this evening. By about 5pm the heat of the day is dissipating and the houses and trees cast some shade over the nearby canals. I launched at around 6pm and came back a little after 7:30.  Although the official sunset is not until after 8:10 we often get an early gloom as the sun disappears behind the banks of clouds that tend to gather each day over the western suburbs. 

I got a lot of friendly waves and some joyful greetings.  A pair of women on a jetski smiled and waved. A bunch of boys wake boarding in a boat gave a few encouraging hoots. Two young women out on paddle boards sad good evening. A family out on paddle boards said hello. Several greetings and waves from Las Olas Blvd.

A a motorboat came up behind me and came past slowly. I heard the wife ask her husband to turn their radio down so she could complement me on my figure. She asked if paddle boarding was the way I kept in shape. I smiled and said yes, but that ain't really true. I don't to enough of it, often enough, or hard enough to have it count as significant exercise.) 

Came in, took a shower, washed myself and my thong. When I shower I hand wash my thongs, then hang them on hooks in the shower to drip dry. 

Today I wore a sunny yellow and orange g-string suit I made from one half of the bra of a women's string bikini. These tend to ride a little lower than normal, but I really like the bright fluorescent orange string waist band. Looks good against tanned skin and makes it less likely someone will report a nude man.

On my end, I still do between 1 and 3 paddle board outings per week here east TN, and always in speedo type briefs.  Since thongs are illegal here in TN, I only wear them for those rare occasions when I have time to sunbathe in a quite cove that isn't already occupied.  Still do the group paddle board race with them and no issues with that.  However, I've stopped doing the group open water swims because they now require US Masters Swimming Membership which makes no sense for me because there just aren't many nearby USMS sanctioned events aside from the local 5k and 10k open water swims that I cannot complete in a manner that is both safe and competitive since I have type 1 diabetes and CGM's don't transmit through water.  I can certainly do open water swimming, just not that long without the need to stop and replenish carbs.

I think my experience here with briefs is very comparable to JM"s wearing thongs in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.  The vast majority of people, fishermen, kayakers, and recreational boaters are fairly indifferent to it while there is a small percentage from every group who will hassle me about it, as was the case with the lone kayaker I passed today who appeared about 5 years older than me saying "don't you have anything better to do".  Since he was just passing in a kayak, I only gave him the appropriate social distancing 20 - 30 feet and quietly waved before his reaction.  No sure if he knew me or not or what he even meant, but I just paddled on as he did.  Later passed several large groups of youth and nobody noticed.

Other thing I have noticed is the the TN river in Knoxville is surprisingly quiet in terms of motorboat traffic and shoreline development.  I live about 25 miles west and the lakes there are more busier and have more residences on them.  Most of downtown Knoxville shoreline is either industrial or undeveloped parks and farmland, which means it's a great place to be on the weekend.

Hey JM,

Been thinking about getting an inflatable board, but they are usually expensive. Have seen some cheaper ones online but I worry about quality.

Did you get yours used or new on ebay? Can you post the link?
Thanks

Re：Stand-Up Paddle boarding in a Thong - SUP (Paddleboarding)

New, from Ebay.  
With inflatable paddle boards on ebay costing less than 1/2 of the amount from retail surf shops, ebay seems to be the way to go. Many boards are 10' 6" but I am very happy with the 6" thick and slightly longer 11'6" boards I have.  I have a pair branded GO PLUS that I have had for more than a year.

I recently sent a female friend the email that follows because wanted to get her own.  However the ebay links are to auctions that I linked are now closed.  She just got one of the Tiki in blue and white from the first link.

The following is what I wrote to her in an email about a month ago. I am sure the older listings are now dead, so you just have to sort through the current listings. 
However the links will give you a good idea on the products I was recommending to her.
_______________________________

This listing had 6 choices but is now down to three models that are still available

https://www.ebay.com/itm/116-106-Inflatable-Stand-up-paddle-Board-SUP-Board-ISUP-with-complete-kit/164171273285 

The Cruze model is  11'X 33"X 6" which is the exact same size as the one you were on this morning.  $260

The Tiki model is 6" shorter, but otherwise the same, and is more what I guess your color choice would be.  $250 with FREE shipping.

Here is a GO PLUS which is the same brand name on my boards and same size, but almost $100 more at $372 with free shipping.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Inflatable-Stand-Up-Paddle-Board-with-Carry-Bag/153955207596

Here is a 10'6" at $270 but another $50 in shipping = $320

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro6-P6-Pacific-ISUP-Inflatable-Stand-Up-Paddle-Board-126-x30-x6-106/293190989420 

They all claim to be shipping from California so I would expect delivery to be less than two weeks.

____________________________________

I just checked pricing and it appears inflatable boards are about $100 more expensive this month.

A couple weekends ago was a gloomy day of clouds and drizzle.   However it was 75 deg. and I had a SUP and a thong!   Sounds like the makings of possibly a nice day.  The lake was calm and pretty quiet mid-morning as most decided to stay at home.  I get re-energized and consider it mental therapy to get outside in my thong.  I don’t need to be out there in the view of others but to just be out there...   I do the same getting sun on my back deck.  1-2 times a week out in a thong dose gives a “Thonger’ high”.  

That day was very tranquil.  I have my inflatable SUP and able to get it inflated and on the water in about 10 minutes after arrival.  As you find that as you are out there on top of the water, in a calm and quiet atmosphere with the clouds and almost a fog kind of limiting the expansion of the world, I get a sense of calmness.  All of this while gliding across the water in a thong and having a sense of freedom and oneness with nature and yourself.

I passed by others in kayaks or fishermen trolling along and will always give a wave and a nod or say good morning.  I normally get a friendly response back and even sometimes short conversation. 

On a busier or more sunny day or along the beach somewhere, I still get that “thonger’s high” but this day was a bit more special.  If I was needing a normal sunny, I would’ve been at home. But going out on an SUP opens up a lot of additional locations and opportunities to get out there.

Sometimes gloomy or misty days can be magical on the water.  It helps if it is not cold, and to have a hat to keep rain out of your eyes.

I’ve been SUP in a thong for a few years now on Lake Travis TX. I launch from a park that doesn’t allow power craft, and if I head one direction, the thong is off in a few minutes and I’m nude for the rest of my adventure, which takes me past Hippie Hollow, a CO park on the lake. The other direction has me passing another shoreline park and numerous homes, so the thong stays on. I’m usually close enough to the other shoreline park to say good morning and people are always cordial.
The only problem is on Lake Austin which is full of asshole wake boats. They generate a lot of water activity and I’ve seen little kids knocked down by the waves.
Whether nude or in a thong, SUP is fun and good for you!

It has been a bit hectic the last few weeks with a vacation down to the beach and the annual lawn over seeding process that you have to do around this part of the country every year.  Yesterday was an awesome day out on the SUP.  We had had about 4” of rain over the weekend through Monday as the last hurricane tracked our way and dumped on us too.  

Overall the water was on the clear side and the lake and wind was calm.  Sun was out and no clouds making the 70 deg. day great to catch some sun.  I went to one of my normal put in spots at the park, around 3:00 and did over 7 miles round trip.  It is a nature preserve area that has a few locations for SUP and kayaks to put in.  Some boaters, lots of kayaks today, and a few other SUP on the lake.  There was only one other person who got in the water, which was refreshing.  Got in 3 times over my trip.   

I wore my shiny blue low front thong for the day.  Again, I am surprised that even though I usually don’t get to close to a lot of people, I did chat with a couple guys fishing in their boat and some kayakers for a bit, there is absolutely no reaction that I can hear or see.  I defiantly act as normal as can be with confidence and do my work out up and down the lake.   This no reaction is so great.  Even when I would go to the very small beach at the lake where it is so small and everyone sees you, there has been almost no reaction.  On the beaches, lakes, pools when traveling, there is hardly no reaction that I see.   That doesn’t mean that all people are accepting and that is fine.  But, they are respectful.  I think a lot goes to the attitude you project and level of confidence.  If you are out there just like everyone else and just happen to be wearing a thong, then all is good and you get to catch some sun on your buns!

Thong on all!

Thanksgiving was sunny and warm. In the latter part of the afternoon I went out on the tippy paddleboard. I have a pair of inflatables that are 11 foot and standard width, with good stability, and one that is 11'6" that is skinny and tippy. It seems a little faster than the others, but is a lot less stable. I think it is good practice and workout on the tippy one. 

As usual I wore a thong.  This thong is one of the ones I have modified. It is bright green with a removable snap on red front, codpiece style. Because it was too tight, in the middle of each side strap I have added a bit more length by adding two red "Remove Before Flight" patches. The size and style used for keyring tabs. 

There were less boats out than I expected for a holiday weakened.  Everyone was friendly and there were a lot of complements and cheers. Some were close enough to complement my thong, or bum, and someone I could not see called out from shore offering me a beer which I declined.

I had been out paddle boarding a couple of days ago and got offered a drink from a party barge that was having a birthday party for a young lady who told me she was turning 30, but did not look a day over 22. That time I did accept. 

As a general rule I find the acceptance of men in thongs to be even higher when out on the water. Maybe because the people with boats are locals not tourists from up north. Every boat gives a wave, but that is part of normal nautical behavior. Almost all boats there are smiles and distinctly friendly waves, and from most some form of cheer or complement. 

Earlier in the day I was working on a project in the front yard and a teen from my street blasted by on a skate board but did not say hi. Later when I was out paddle boarding the same kid came by in his boat with a girlfriend. He changed course to come over and give a friendly greeting. Funny how that works.

The watersport season has ended here in Central TX with water temperatures dropping into the low 70's. There are a few folks out, but in suits of some sort, wetsuits I guess? But I prefer as little as I can get away with. We're also in the front end of a big COVID surge that will likely carry through the spring, and the county will close all the parks again. You can get on the lake with a dozen people in a power boat out of a marina, but a safe-distance activity like SUP is locked out. I don't understand. 
I'm hoping to get some company next season. I have yet to have anyone with me on the lake, and though I don't feel unsafe, it's better with a partner. I posted a few SUP pictures on my album.

Someone asked if it was warm enough in Fort Lauderdale. Yes, at least yesterday was. A friend and I went out paddle boarding. 
I never take a camera or phone to the beach, and don't when paddle boarding either: no pockets in my thongs. 
So while I wear a thong just about every day, everywhere, pictures pictures are infrequent unless someone else takes them. 

However while paddle boarding yesterday afternoon she took a few. Being a gentlemen I took a couple of her with her phone. 
 
She posted them to Facebook so I picked a couple and added them to my paddle boarding folder on this message board.

Unless the phone is waterproof, or you have a truly waterproof bag I suggest you leave them behind. 
The young red head who came out paddle boarding with me earlyer in the week got her phone wet. Not good.

Looking good @JM_Runs. That looks like an excellent way to exercise AND work on your tan. Wish it was warm enough up here in NC for me to work on my tan. Sadly I am now using self tanning lotion to keep my tan looking good this winter.

zonneman, could you post a link to the folder from your perspective?  Seems to be different than one the folder owner sees. 

(In other news I hate Aimoo's newer software.)

Hi JM,

From my perspectieve, the link to your SUP photo folder, after manually navigating there, looks like this:

https://www.aimoo.com/profile/photo/JM_Runs/31951

Your second link (sent 8'37" after my message) has the exact same effect as the first one
I arrive at https://www.aimoo.com/login, then after confirming my login at https://www.aimoo.com
This looks like a default action for afaulty link.

Thanks zonneman. Fixed it using your URL link. 
The URL system in their latest attempt to rebuild the software is beyond strange. One would have thought the link to a folder would be consistent.

A friend and I went paddle boarding in Christmas Elf thongs, the ones with the jingle bells. Matching elf hats too. 
We got lots of positive feedback and some people wanted us to pose for pictures.

It was my friends first time thong paddle boarding.  I put a picture in the folder.

JM_Runs,
Your Paddle board folder says 6 pictures but it only has 4. Can't see your last posts.

I added a couple more pictures. It now says 10 but only shows 8.  Aimoo's software is crap.
