- From a video of Catherine "Cat" Uden on Vimeo titled, not surprisingly, "The Best Thing About Hollywood.""What you miss when you’re not stand up paddling at Hollywood Beach, Florida. SUP is the best way to enjoy flat days on the ocean. Surfrider Broward is campaigning to make SUP more accessible and safe on Hollywood Beach."To leave comments regarding the video, go to https://vimeo.com/308465024See more of Cat's #SUP videos at her Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/user13789097
- In this Vimeo video that @SUPthemag noticed, Cat shows what nature & life can be like in #HollywoodFL when you can #SUP on the Atlantic Ocean. #relaxing
- Some much-needed common sense changes to current #SUP/Stand Up Paddleboard rules re ocean access at #HollywoodBeach. It's precisely because we want to see more of the kind of scenes depicted in this video and have Hollywood's natural resources and beauty be both better utilized and better appreciated by #SUP users in Hollywood and South Florida, as well as visitors, that it's important that positive changes be made and that the beach business community support these efforts.

One of the Best Things about #HollywoodFL: Positive change is, in fact, possible, even in getting some common sense changes enacted re #SUP/Stand Up Paddleboard use. It's not perfect, of course, but a nice improvement that can be built upon
On Wed., @cohgov CityComm heard HFD presentation re long-overdue common sense changes to current restrictive rules re beach access wanted by #SUP/Stand Up Paddleboard users.

A new plan for SUP, surfing, and kayaking rules was presented by Rudy Jurado of Hollywood Fire Dept/Beach Safety on 3/6/19. It is definitely better than the Fire Dept’s original plan (that’s a victory!), but not what we had suggested as a compromise. Apparently, the plan is intended to be a 6 month trial period. (We are hoping that after 6 months, the city will expand it even further). Thank you to those who came to this meeting, came to previous meetings, and spent so much time trying to push for the change of rules. Thank you to the city for reducing restrictions. The most positive part of this plan was that you can paddle anywhere on Hollywood Beach before 10 am. Surfing and kayaking zones have been expanded. Progress is being made slowly but surely. Bringing a little aloha to Hollywood Beach.
Email Desiree 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 Chair@broward.surfrider.org for specific details.
When someone laughed at me and said I’d never be able to legally paddle off Hollywood Broadwalk, I said, “Challenge accepted!” 🤙🏾😎 Beautiful Monday morning on the Broadwalk. Bringing a little aloha to Hollywood. Thanks to the @cityofhollywoodfl for giving us more freedom and space to paddle and surf and kayak, AND a safe place to launch early in the morning.
These are the Hollywood City Commission email addresses if you'd like to support the proposal or like to see it made ven better for #SUP users and other recreational users:
