I think this is Evan’s first wood paddle, the Leleo Kinimaka dove tail stand up paddle. As you may have seen on previous posts, wood paddles give that softer, gentler feel, and not to mention, they are just absolutely gorgeous. I’d say true works of art.
Check out the video as Evan shows us his new stand up paddle.

Another short clip of my 300 lbs friend Deeroy on an Angulo 11′9″. This is his first time on a stand up board. I’m not sure if you can see it but he’s actually standing in crocs.

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.

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.

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 was out last month at Tongg’s with buddies Carnet, Harris and Mark. We’re switching back and forth between the C4 10′6″ and Paddle Surf Hawaii 10′6″. We also had some pretty funny wipe outs.

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.

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.

Do you have questions on the stand up paddles? I’m going to interview Dave Chun who started Kialoa Paddles 17 years ago next Tuesday. If you guys or gals have any questions then post them as a comment and I’ll ask him.

We hear from this two-part video a discussion between Jim of Tropical Blends Surf and a Pro Surfer about stand up paddles. They talk about the different aspects of the paddle — from the grip to the blade — and even the history and global influence put into the stand up paddle.
I think the bottom line here is that stand up paddle surfing is still in its early stages and it’s good that people are out to try new stuff for the sake of the development of the sport.

Here’s a deal from Wet Feet…deck pad, fin, leash and $50 off a paddle for only $125. This is something worth considering especially for beginners.
What’s better is that the board can be customized through a wide choice of their deck pads, fins and leashes.

When I visited Steve Boehne at Infinity Surf in Dana Point, California, I got a chance to see some interesting air vents that he installs in his custom epoxy boards. I got a short video of Steve explaining the vent to a customer, some inside info and shot some pictures up close. These are the actual vents he uses on the custom epoxy Ku Ku Hoe stand up paddle boards.
