Photo Of The Week

Description: This is a picture taken by my friend Mehdi Founotte over Nopalitos Lagoon, located between Tulum (mexico) and Sian Ka'an Biosphere. It was for both of us our very first experience on a sup, as a friend of us had brought us there and lend us his paddle boards. After paddling around the lagoon for an hour, I started to experiment my favorite yoga pose on the paddle. Medhi had his basic waterproof small camera on his wrist and started to shoot my pose. It was at sunset time. There were no planing there; an authentic scene of a first, fortunate and fun experience on a sup.
