I think you'd have trouble at Riverbend trying to head upstream on a SUP. However if you wanted to hike upstream a bit and then fish back down, without attempting to cross currents or go upstream, you'd be OK. Maybe I just need more practice but it seems hard to change drift line in fast water. Monocacy would be great though - I wanted to try that last year, but it was running 10X the level I like to fish it all of last summer and fall.
You can also get creative and use it to float some really small creeks, it's good to use to cover water and hit the good spots and just blast through all the shallow water in between. Have to watch out for fallen trees and sharp bends though. I tried it on Deer Creek in MD last year and had trouble keeping my balance going around bends (while sitting on cooler to paddle - I actually didn't stand up at all that trip). If you don't attach the large center fin on the back, you can pass through riffles and flat water that is only 6 inches deep. My friend in a kayak on that trip bottomed out and had to drag many times, but I rarely had that problem.
