Here’s a short video of the Surftech Munoz 12′6″ Wateryder SUP Stand Up Paddle Board. This is a great cruising / all-around board and I really like that it has a lot of screw mounts that you can use to store your gear. The board cruises nicely in flat water and surfs pretty good on small waves. I haven’t tried surfing it on bigger waves yet.

I did my first OC-1 race in December 2010 and had a blast. This was the Toys for Tots Race put on by Pa’a Hawaii. The race course was the normal Hawaii Kai run which started at Portlock by the bridge, out to the blinker buoy and then around the windsock and into Kaimana Beach. This is the same Hawaii Kai run we always do for downwinders so it was familiar and comfortable.

Here are some pictures of the new S.I.C. Custom 14′ Bullet SUP race board. I just got this board on January 18 and I was able to try it out in glassy south shore conditions and waist high waves. My first impression is that the board surfs really well for a 14′ board and seems to connect small bumps but it’s hard to tell until I ride it in real downwind conditions.
