Doug Lock Quiver – Custom 10 Ft Wood Veneer Stand Up Paddle Surfboard
December 12th, 2007 by evan
Doug shows us his custom 10′ wood veneer stand up paddle surfboard made by Ted Spencer from Australia. The board as you can see doesn’t have an air vent compared to Doug’s other custom-made ones. He explains that the wood veneer has a solid, sandwich-like construction so that the air expanding is the last of his worries on this type of board.
Doug claims that Ted has done something unusual with the board, which he says gives the board bite and make it feel like you’re riding on an edge.

Chair Rig on Angulo 11′9″ Stand Up Paddle Surfboard
December 11th, 2007 by evan
If you want an easy way to take your toddlers out on your stand up paddle board, here’s a solution. I rigged up my Angulo 11′9″ from www.TropicalBlendsurf.com with handles and then strap the Scooby Doo chair to the front. The pads in the front make it easy to mount the chair and also when the boys get bigger and just want to sit on the deck. I like this setup because the whitewash goes under the chair instead of right in the boy’s faces when paddling out in small surf.

Angulo 11′9″ Stand Up Paddle Downwinder Video
December 10th, 2007 by evan
This is a short clip of me on a downwind run with my friend Kekoa. I’m on my Angulo 11′9″ and using a Leleo custom wood paddle. This is nothing really eventful but I thought it would be nice for people to see what Blackpoint looks like from the water.

I got 2 Infinity Surf ottertail paddles for my birthday in November and so far have only been able to test it a number of conditions. At first I was leery of this paddle but I have since changed my mind. This is what I’ve been using for the last few weeks.

Boardworks Stewart 11-6 Step Deck Stand Up Paddle Surfboard – Video Preview
December 8th, 2007 by edgardo
We get to see another board design at Wet Feet, a Bill Stewart 11′6″ step deck manufactured by Boardworks. One standing feature of this board is the step deck, which you’ll see on the video.
It has a double-wing pin tail, which can handle fast and steep waves like a long board. The board is typically designed for big guys — a thick 5 and 16th inch thick middle plus a tapered nose and tail.

Makai Softop 11 Ft Stand Up Paddle Surfboard at Wet Feet Hawaii – Video Preview
December 5th, 2007 by edgardo
We get a short preview of the Makai Softop 11 Ft Stand Up Paddle Surfboard from the guys at Wet Feet. As we see on the video, the board has a soft deck ideally for people who are concerned about landing on the board hard or want something that is family and user-friendly.
The performance is manageable for a board of this type. I think this is good as an entry-level board.

I was at Paddle Surf Hawaii’s store/office getting a new paddle surf 10′6″ gun and who walks in but the legendary 2x world champion surfer Tom Carroll. I guess Tom’s super into stand up paddle surfing and was looking to build his quiver with some PSH gear. He also uses a Kialoa Kole stand up paddle.

Steve Boehne of Infinity Surf About Fin Configuration
December 2nd, 2007 by evan
When I got the Infinity Quad I was trying to figure out what fin setup to use and what the difference would be. Here’s a Q&A with Steve Boehne from Infinity Surf with those answers.
The Quad Cluster has five fin boxes. What are the suggested fin setups and what difference will it make in performance?
The first rule is that each guy is different and he should experiment with fin configurations to find his own preference. We normally don’t put 5 boxes in the quads, but we did this one so you could have fun experimenting. Traditionally, a quad has the two largest fins in the front boxes and the smaller twin fins in the rear boxes. You may notice that the front boxes are installed near the rail and towed in and the rear boxes are closer and parallel to the stringer. We found that unlike a short board, which is ok to be kind of “squirrelly”, an SUP feels better with positive directional control. This is achieved by moving the rear fins in and parallel. The center fin is not usually used unless you are riding it as a tri fin thruster or if you really want to make it positive.
