Tropical Blends Pokole 8′10″ SUP Board
Jim over at Tropical Blends Surf is keeping ahead of the SUP stand up paddle board curve by continually releasing new models. The latest is an 8′10″ x 28.5″ x 3 7/8″ SUP called the Pokole. Here’s the specs and info.
The Pokole
Length: 8′ 10″
Width: 28 1/2″
Thickness: 3 7/8″
Fin set-up: 2 + 1
This is another in keeping with the Wai Kahe and Welo. The reduction in length allows the board to fit the needs of an even smaller rider while still providing those characteristics that have made this line of boards so popular.

goin smaller and skinier
progression
Ty – Smaller and skinnier will most likely be for lighter riders or advanced ones. A small, wide SUP can be ridden by lighter riders and intermediate riders. You can also get custom boards at Tropical Blends to fit exactly what you’re looking for. My friend Darin just got a 7′9″ custom SUP from Tropical Blends and really likes it. He’s about 145 lbs and has be riding a SUP for a few years now.
