It’s been a few years since I first got my version 1 SIC 12’6″. It was the first of the shape that would evolve the Bullet line and I loved it at first lift. I mean first lift because it’s lighter than most of the 10’6″ boards on the market at the time. That’s a […]
Here are some photos from a recent SUP surfing session with the Starboard 8’10” x 32″ Wide Point.
Review written by: Darin Leong It has taken me awhile to work up to this board, but the Rock N’ Roller is now my favorite all around board. It is a great balance of performance and enough stability for lots of fun in all kinds of conditions.
Here’s a video sent to us by Robert Stehlik. It’s from an evening surf session using the Blue Planet 8’6 Potato Chip and 8’0 Ghetto Blaster SUP models.
Review written by: Darin Leong The C4 Waterman MR Pro is a fun board that balances stability and performance. This is a great board for intermediate to advanced riders who want a user-friendly stable board that turns well and has great top-end speed.
We finally have some wind again, so instead of the regular time trial we will do a Hawaii Kai to Kahala Run this Wednesday. We are meeting at 4:30 PM at KAHALA Beach Park (official name is Waialae Beach Park), this is where we meet and where we will finish. We will leave some cars […]

I recently visited Blue Planet Surf’s shop to check out their new stand up paddle boards for 2014. Robert Stehlik showed me some of their new 2014 models and gave a LOT of tips on SUP board selection and setup. He talks about board shapes, fin setup, board volume and more. Check out the videos […]
After riding the recon for a number of sessions on different conditions I realize that this board is really good for any rider over 200 pounds that wants a board that can turn on a dime. The quad fin set up is actually really comfortable now for me and if the conditions are nice and […]
This is written by Darin Leong (http://www.hawaiiguitar.com/), my brother and a local attorney in Hawaii. I’ve been giving the Blue Planet Surf Fun Stick a try for the past few days. Stable, surfs well, glides, and makes for a great “if-you-could-only-have-one-SUP” board. I’ve posted a few pics and a GoPro vid, so feel free to […]
I’ve been meaning to try out the SIC Recon 10 SUP after I saw the pictures of Livio surfing it and talked to Mark Raaphorst about how the board would perform on the South Shore of Oahu so I recently picked one up. The S.I.C. Recon-10 stand up paddle surfing board pretty much looks and […]
This is written by Darin Leong (http://www.hawaiiguitar.com/), my brother and a local attorney in Hawaii. I’ve now ridden 10-15 different boards and can summarize the Sweet Spot simply: I love this board. It does a little of everything, but most of all, it was just a lot of fun.
