Aquaglide / Amundson 11′6″ SUP Stand Up Paddle Board
Here’s another board from Amundson Designs Hawaii, the 11′6″ all-around stand up paddle board. John Amundson, the board’s shaper and designer, gives us a preview as well as some info on the design of the board.

I’ve got to say that I’m still very happy with my Amundson 11′6″ after 3 years. It was the first board I bought after returning to Toronto, Canada from a vacation in Hawaii.
The guys at Boardsports in Toronto were really helpful and asked me a ton of questions before recommending it. I weighed around 190 then, and intended to use it almost entirely for cruising and training. We just don’t have many surfable waves near Toronto.
Compared to the beefy boards we now use for lessons at our SUP school, the Amundson is light. And even though it feels fragile by comparison, it’s stood up to the other boards and it’s still in really great condition.
The only thing I can’t comment on is how it surfs, but maybe someone else can add to this review.
LOVE MY AMUNDSON!FIRST BOARD AND WILL NOT GET RID OF IT. I HAVE TAUGHT MANY PEOPLE TO PADDLE ON THAT BOARD.
Sounds good.
