Surftech San-O Carbon Stand Up Paddle
September 17th, 2010 by evan
Here’s a preview of the new Surftech carbon paddle. They have a full carbon model and a carbon/fiberglass model. Both are really light and I was surprised how light the carbon/fiberglass version is. The largest blade size is 9.5″, a bit large for my personal taste but perfect for outrigger paddling. I ended up cutting one of these paddles down to 52″ and use it with my OC-1. I love it for OC-1. It weighs 15 oz which is lighter than my Apple iPad. Continue reading ‘Surftech San-O Carbon Stand Up Paddle’

September 14th, 2010 by evan
Here’s demo of the Surf Nano Product (SNP) by Tom Warnke. This was shot at the Hawaii Battle of the Paddle 2010.

You’ll have to test it for yourself.

Planet Sun UV-Blocking Travel Umbrella at the 2010 Battle of the Paddle Hawaii
September 5th, 2010 by evan
Here’s John O’Malley from Planet Sun showing off his UV blocking travel umbrella. I have one of these and can vouch that the thing works. On a hot and sunny day, you can feel a pretty big difference when under this umbrella vs when you’re not under it. If you’re in the sun a lot, this may be a great option for sun protection.
