This video is from May 08. This was one of my earlier downwind runs. The crew was Kainoa B, Duane DeSoto and friends. Kainoa did a different type of tandem on this run. He had his friend Ann, who is his Access Surf partner on the front of his 12′ board and then surfed it once we got to Toes. Once you see Ann, you will see why we have no excuses.

Tommy Chorman of Freedom Riding Company www.freedomriding.com sent over this video of ‘The Hammer’ surfing his 6′10″ stand up board. I’m not sure if this is Sandy’s but that’s where he normally surfs that board. You may be thinking, “That’s a small board.”

Here’s a short clip of the thruster I installed on the Surftech Takayama. I used True Ames 4.5″ fins.
For the most part, I liked it. It turns tighter and it didn’t feel like it was gonna slide out. The problem that I had w/ it was that when you get towards the nose, it makes it kinda harder to nose ride. I guess riding this board as a thruster may not make a lot of sense because if I have a smaller board I can ride that one straight off the tail. But the Takayama seems like it wants to be ridden all around the board, the nose, the tail. Actually, after talking to Takayama, that’s exactly what he said.

We got this email from Cheance:
Hey Folks!
I come to you by way of Chris Koerner who suggested I give you the calendar for the SoCalOceanRacing series.
We are a 9-race winter series open to all types of paddlecraft. We started about 10 or more years ago- some of us did anyway, hosting races for surfskis, then solo outriggers joined the parade, and then the tandem outriggers wanted to play, then paddle boarders trickled in, and now along comes the SUP brigade! It’s awesome!
