Wet Feet’s resident handyman takes us through the process of installing handle mounts on a stand up paddle surfboard. It’s worth it once you have those handles installed on your board. It will be much easier to carry, plus, it can be used as a grip to grab on to while in the water.

This is a short, five-minute how-to clip on installing a clear grip on your stand up paddle. What’s cool about this grip, which is available at Wet Feet, is that it doesn’t add to the overall diameter thickness of the paddle shaft, as you will see on the video. Not much talking on this one, […]

Check out the video as Evan shows us his […]

Doug shows us his custom 10′ wood veneer stand up paddle surfboard made by Ted Spencer from Australia. The board as you can see doesn’t have an air vent compared to Doug’s other custom-made ones.

This is a short clip of me on a downwind run with my friend Kekoa. I’m on my Angulo 11’9″ and using a Leleo custom wood paddle. This is nothing really eventful but I thought it would be nice for people to see what Blackpoint looks like from the water.
