Off to Pono Bills Big Board Test Tomorrow
February 13th, 2008 by evan 
Only one more day and I’m off to Maui to join Pono Bill, StoneAxe and the gang to test out a slew of stand up paddle equipment. More info here http://www.ponohouse.com/ponoblog/the-big-board-comparison/. I think Bill has something like 20 to 30 boards to test in one day. I’m interested to see how this will be done […]
Standing Up with SUP SurfMag and Haleiwa Bill
February 12th, 2008 by evan
I’ve been waiting to get in the water for a few days because the rain and weather has been pretty terrible. Along with that, I had a pretty busy week of work. I got some time to sneak away yesterday to the North Shore of Oahu with my buddy Kekoa although I wasn’t sure at […]

Joe Blair shares a technique for spinning your board around quickly. It’s not as easy as it sounds. I tried it and it takes some practice.
Stand Up Surfing Tongg’s with Friends
February 3rd, 2008 by evan
This was a rare glassy moment in mid December. The winds were howling at 15 to 30 mph for the whole week and we got lucky to have a break in the early morning where the wind died down. Everyone expected it to be windy and small so they didn’t bother coming out so it […]
Downwind Stand Up Paddle from Hawaii Kai to Waikiki Beach
January 31st, 2008 by evan
What do you do when the wind is 30 mph+ and the waves are blown side shore? You do a downwind run like we did. I called Todd Bradley in the morning of December 17 and asked if he was doing a downwind run because I wanted to try the C4 Vortice XP. Since the […]

January 25th, 2008 by admin
We just got a heads up from Chris Koerner on the 2008 Hennessey’s paddleboard race series for the mainland US, Hawaii, and Europe. He spoke to race director Tim Ritter and according to him most of these events will have a SUP division, and depending on the numbers there may be a stock, unlimited and […]
Short Paddle Experiment
January 24th, 2008 by evan
After seeing Blane out with his 48′ short paddle I decided to give it a try myself. I took out a 60″ C4 Waterman paddle that I have and decided to give the knee paddle method a try today. The conditions were windy, 10 to 20 mph and small waves but I need the exercise […]
First Adjustable Length Stand Up Paddle Preview
January 22nd, 2008 by evan
I love going to the C4 headquarters because I always get a chance to see the newest stuff coming out. I’ve watched Todd since I met him early last year work on an adjustable length paddle and was stoked to see it’s actually going into production.
Paddle Scuff Mark Removal
January 19th, 2008 by evan
It’s almost inevitable that the side of our stand up paddle boards get those irritating black scuff marks from our paddles hitting the rails of the board. I used to use car polish to get it off but sometimes it took a lot of scrubbing and other times it wouldn’t come off at all.

Sharky out here
January 13th, 2008 by evan
I was staying in the North Shore last week and some of the guys that lived at the surf break ‘walls’ told me about a shark attack a couple weeks ago. Walls breaks far offshore so there’s a decent paddle out. I guess a guy got a shark tangled in his leash and then his […]
