I was talking with Duke over at Surftech to see what was new, who was getting into SUP, etc and found out that NFL star Junior Seau is now pretty stoked on stand up paddle surfing. From the pictures it looks like he’s all by himself but then again, who would drop in on Junior […]
Here’s a short clip of the new Surftech carbon fiber paddles shot during their grand opening.
Surftech had the grand opening for their retail location on Queen Street a while back and for some reason it got buried in a list of posts. They had a first class party with awesome food, music, drinks and industry heavies.
Here’s a short clip of the thruster I installed on the Surftech Takayama. I used True Ames 4.5″ fins. For the most part, I liked it. It turns tighter and it didn’t feel like it was gonna slide out. The problem that I had w/ it was that when you get towards the nose, it […]

I got a chance to interview the legendary Donald Takayama over the phone. At 65, Donald Takayama is still going strong. He started his career of making boards at age 11, became a shaper, surfer and still proves to be the master of style and technique.

I just got the press release for Surftech’s new stand up paddling instructional video and I immediately clicked on over to http://surftech.com/seasonal/l2sup.php to check it out. This has got to be one of the best free videos I’ve seen so far. I know it has a lot of Surftech promotion in it but it’s always nice […]
Here’s a short clip of my 5 year old son Buddy stand up paddling on a Surftech Blacktip. This is now his favorite board. I’ve been trying to get him on other boards for a while now but this one is like standing on land so he’s comfortable. (click thumbnail to launch video)
I just got this sneak peek from Surftech to show what’s new in 2009. This shows all the boards, current and new including the new Joe Bark 14’ racing SUP coming out sometime in 2009. These will be on display at the ASR show in September and some are just a preview.
