I didn’t get any good video shots of the Duke’s Race but shot this short clip before it started so people can see what others were using. I should have gone around more and waited a while because the amount of boards and people were impressive. Continue reading ‘Duke’s Oceanfest SUP Stand UP Race 2008′
I know we’ve all see the “Keep Country Country” bumper stickers. I just saw this the other day on a car and had to take a picture of it and post it.
Just got off the phone with Tad Tucker who is organizing this race. He’s a reserve in the Coast Guard and a cool guy. This can change on race day but here’s what I got for now: Continue reading ‘Update – U.S. Coast Guard SUP Stand Up Race MALAMA KA MEA HO`OPAKELE’

Local surfers were left awestruck this week when Hawaiian surfing legend Dave Parmenter made a long-awaited return to the resort since 1980s.
The pioneer waterman, who introduced stand up paddle boarding to the US, spent ten days in the resort paddle surfing some of the beaches he used to compete on during his long competitive career.
Local stand up paddle board champ Adam Zervas, who accompanied the legend during his visit, said: “Dave is a very respected surfer and board shaper and pioneer in the US in setting up paddle boarding.”

Here’s some pictures and a short video clip to show the similarities and differences between the S.I.C. F-15 and F-16. In the F series, the F-16 is a hollow molded carbon fiber 16′ SUP racer and the F-15 is a foam core hand shaped custom SUP racer. The F-16 is quite a bit lighter than the F-15 but I’m not sure on exact weights. Continue reading ‘F-15 versus F-16 – SUP racer comparison’
I’ve been doing a lot of distance and downwind paddling lately and got a chance to ask Todd Bradley, a champion paddler, for his insights. This is a video that I’ve watched over and over already.

Some pictures of an old Hawaii Kai downwind run with Jeff, Darin and Kekoa. This was a while ago.
Here’s a video from a while back of a downwind run with Jeff, Kekoa and Teri. I gotta give Teri props because this was her second time on a stand up board and she did great.

Here’s a video of us having fun doing tandems on the Surftech Blacktip. The first segment is me and my brother Darin, then Kekoa and Teri, then me and Dominic. It’s pretty impressive that this board can float over 400 lbs and still move. Some pretty funny ‘falling-down’ moments in the video.

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.
