Here’s a short video of the Surftech Munoz 12’6″ Wateryder SUP Stand Up Paddle Board. This is a great cruising / all-around board and I really like that it has a lot of screw mounts that you can use to store your gear. The board cruises nicely in flat water and surfs pretty good on […]

Todd Bradley sent us some clips of him riding the C4 12’6″ “Switchblade” stand up paddle board. The video is a bit long but it gives different angles of how the board performs in light winds. I’ve tried this board myself in surf and really liked it. I like the glide and in small waves […]
