Re: portable showers for my SUP
I found this “portable pressure washer" on Amazon that works well, and I like that I don't need a pressurized hose bib to fill it from.[img]https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/8fd13995-1fe4-4aba-85cc-... [Link]
Re: How are factory boards painted?
I think that Plasti Dip stuff is a rubber that can be peeled off at anytime. It probably would add a lot of weight and with the abrasion a board endures, probably start peeling in certain areas. Hobie used a concrete sealer for their finish coat. I use… [Link]

Re: How are factory boards painted?
Anybody ever plasti-dip their board? A friend of mine dips cars, and he can create a wide variety of cool matte, glossy, and even color-shifting coatings that provide a thin, rubbery layer of protection over the surface. These coatings are good for at … [Link]
Re: Ice Poling?
Nightwing, see the thread on the folding fin I also put up yesterday. It folds up flat and becomes almost a skate blade. supthecreek, I have often thought an isup would be great for ice although I envisioned more of a bobsled-start approach, pushi… [Link]

Re: Fin Jigs, buying or making.
I've been sitting on a set of drawings for a year of futures and bahne box templates for 3.5" trim routers. Need to get them into dwg format and test so I can open source them. Thinking of buying a cheap laser cutter and making them out of 3-4 mil ply… [Link]

Re: Fin Jigs, buying or making.
I just made templates for installing some mast bases in the boards I'm putting the Geezer Foil 2 and more typical foils on. I don't do this often, so I forgot that the template needs to be just the right thickness to keep the bearing on the template an… [Link]
Re: Lookers versus Posters.
One thing I think would encourage more lookers to come is having more low-end conversations. The skill level here is very high, and thus the conversations tend to focus on the high end: which is the fastest race board, foiling, low-volume surf SUPs, am… [Link]

Re: Looking for wave and wind SUP 'swiss army knife' if possible
Fanatic boards tend to have mast foot inserts as well. That 10'10" Nalu does look like a pretty good fit, great vid DJ. [Link]

The Naish 10'10" Nalu would work for you. [Link]
Re: Looking for wave and wind SUP 'swiss army knife' if possible
All the Sunova's have a mast foot screw. Wide selection of boards there. If I recall correctly the Supsports guy windsups.SUS type boards will need good wind. For light wind windSuping the RRD Longrider looks like fun, Starboard has one for light wind… [Link]

Hey NW, its bigger brother the 12'6 also has 5 fin boxes. These boards would be perfect for riding the tanker waves you were talking about. And if I ever make it over there, these are the boards I would bring. [Link]
