I got 2 Infinity Surf ottertail paddles for my birthday in November and so far have only been able to test it a number of conditions. At first I was leery of this paddle but I have since changed my mind. This is what I’ve been using for the last few weeks.
We get to see another board design at Wet Feet, a Bill Stewart 11’6″ step deck manufactured by Boardworks. One standing feature of this board is the step deck, which you’ll see on the video. It has a double-wing pin tail, which can handle fast and steep waves like a long board. The board is […]

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.
We get a short preview of the Makai Softop 11 Ft Stand Up Paddle Surfboard from the guys at Wet Feet. As we see on the video, the board has a soft deck ideally for people who are concerned about landing on the board hard or want something that is family and user-friendly. The performance […]
Dave Parmenter’s brief run-down on the new C4 waterman VORTICE XP Karel-built Carbon race board: I took out the C4waterman VORTICE XP board, the CARBON 21-pounder. After paddling about 6 miles in light winds and flat small seas, I ended up with the following impressions:

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 […]
This board surfs well as we learn from Jim of Tropical Blends Surf. He adds that he has had one of his longest nose rides on the Bernhardt 10’6″. The rocker is pretty much accentuated on this one to make it perform well on the waves. There’s a double barrel on both sides but the […]
I got an Infinity Surf custom quad for my birthday in November and so far have only been able to test it in small surf. I’ve been playing around with the fin configuration since there are 5 fin boxes and this board rocks!
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.
Larry Froley, owner of California-based Gray Whale Trading Company (GWTC), is currently developing an all-wood Touring Stand Up Paddle Kit, which will be named the “Kaholo”. The board is still in the prototype stage, and although the first protoype is a 14’ board, Larry is considering lengthening it to 16’. According to Larry, at 14′ […]
Doug Lock talks about the Brian Caldwell 10′ stand up paddle surfboard and shows us around its shape and explains its dimensions. He says that the board is good at riding four to five foot waves, and mentions the new concept on its nose shape called the bottleneck concave. The all-around shape of the board […]
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 […]
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.
