Kainoa McGee in a Deep Pipeline Barrel
June 26th, 2008 by evan
I recently saw Kainoa in Waikiki at Canoe’s and he was teaching a surf lesson and riding an 8′6″ or 8′ SUP. He’s 210 lbs and the board was literally a few inches underwater. I wish I had my camera because it was a sight to see him paddling underwater.
Check out Jamie B’s site for a crazy sequence of Kainoa McGee at Pipe on a C4 SUP.

Hello All,
Here is the preliminary debrief/after action report from the events of the 10/11 Jun 08; Dave is going to write a much more entertaining and articulate field report.

With all the focus on shorter stand up boards surfing gnarley waves it’s nice to see how stand ups are being used to explore nature. These are some pretty stunning shots of riders on Surftech stand up boards.

Kialoa Shaka Puu Stand Up Paddle (Part 2)

Dave also talks about choosing the right paddle, which all boils down to intuition that tells what type of paddle is best for the stand up paddle surfer.
We get to learn more about paddles and why design and performance are always relative to individual surfers.
In this video, Dave looks at the dimensions of the Shaka Puu paddle and talks briefly about the absence of data that could help in determining which paddle is right for the individual. Right now, he Dave says, the best way to find out what type of paddle is ideal for the surfer is to go out and try different designs and see what suits best.

Evan, would you mind giving me some information about the Infinity Quad?I have an opportunity to pick one up and was curious if you had any additional thoughts about the board beyond your review.

I’m basically your weight, a little taller and am looking at a 10′6 x 28 x 4 5/8
How’s the stability of the board. Seems the thicker tails he makes would add to stability.
The other board I am choosing between is a PSH 10′6 all arounder
