Re: Tired of the crap
I am really grateful for all the valuable advice advice I've received from white haired long boarders. 1) When they are paddling out (approaching the takeoff directly from the inside at a point break which can and should be approached from the side),… [Link]

Re: Waterproof Radio and Earphones for SUP?
I tried the otterbox case and waterproof headphones. The case worked well but the jack has a broken wire so now I only get monoaural listening. The headphones simply didn't fit me well and the sound was not very good. I switched to Sennheisers and m… [Link]
Re: Clueless Shops….

Re: leashes uggghhh
Each winter a buy a new leash. I look for the thickest I can find. On big days (DOH to TOH) I double them up and wrap a couple of pieces of tape around them to keep them from getting tangled. So far no breakage. [Link]
Re: 5' Tall 120 Lbs, 58 yrs old & best sport ever!
oh… I forgot, a paddle. whatever you buy, buy a small blade only. dont buy a big blade, at 120 lb even 8" blade will be too much. on another hand, if you are going just for fun, anything will do
and buy a good carbon paddle, its really important -… [Link]

I live in calgary and this is my fourth summer coming to an end and I haven't seen a single guy with a paddle on the lake yet, although I introduced couple friends (but haven't seen them yet on the water)
So far all I saw … [Link]
Re: R.I.P. Mr. Easy
A little gorilla glue and a couple wraps of 4OZ S2 glass and yer back in biz. Seriously, take it to someone who can fix it and keep it as a backup board–a loaner for newbies. [Link]
Re: what race paddle
Quickblade Elite. Don't use it in the surf, and don't toss it in the trunk–treat it gently. But it weighs nothing and works great for racing–ONLY racing. [Link]

Re: Ventura weekend, need help!

Re: Labor Day weekend in Ventura, HELP!
C St. is a huge point with lots of lineups, so it's probably worth checking. But to avoid the hassle of crowds, take the old coast route. There are lots of mellow beach breaks, reefs and more, from Emma Woods to Hobson. I usually drive along and see… [Link]

Re: sup locations in nh
The forecast looks pretty big and windy from Earl, so your best bet might be to leave the board on the car until Sunday Yes Jennes is a good SUP beach, plenty of room and breaks up and down the beach. Hampton is ok but at high tide, no beach and plen… [Link]
Re: Ventura weekend, need help!

Re: Recommendations for BigGuy moving down to wave only board
Jack – how heavy are you? My first, somewhat unpleasant, experience with SUP was on a whopper. I'm not a surfer, but just thinking of the need to standup before the wave gets there, I think The whopper would be very tough. It's a stable board for… [Link]

OK – got the #'s….I'm 6'3" (75") and the paddle measures in at 82", so 7" over my head, which I guess is a bit short for flatwater, maybe more ideal for surf?? What have you found the perfect length for a paddle that you use in surf and flatwater to… [Link]

Re: how big have they surfed ?
