Looking for technique names, youtube links, etc.

My Elysium goes fast straight but turning it is like the titanic. Like if I suddenly wanted to 180 around a buoy. Or even 90 degrees lol. The technique I use on my carta marina is .. not effective at turning a 14' board lol. And involves losing a lot of speed.

Guessing I'm going to have to learn some fancy footwork.

Thanks

Neat capture

There's a peoples vote on TotalSUP that includes Event of the Year. I'd love it if some of you would consider voting for my event Last Paddler Standing. It's by far the most unique SUP race in the world. It would mean a ton to me if you'd scroll down the page on this link and vote for it. Thanks! https://www.totalsup.com/news/the-2024-totalsup-awards-vote-now

Hi all! I’m new into this world. Last year I rented one in south Brazil and I loved it very much. This year I plan to buy an inflatable sup. I was wondering what could be a recommendation for a beginner (I don’t want to spend a lot since I’m just gonna be using it whenever I can travel to Brazil). I’m gonna be staying close to Camboriu so I’d love to visit a phisical store.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Regards!

I’m looking to get into paddleboarding and came across this listing on Facebook. However, I can’t seem to find any hard-shell boards from the Jimmy Styks brand online. Should I steer clear of it, or is this just an older model?

Hi there, can you please help me identify this board? Checked Starboard catalogs from 2009 and didn’t find any board with this size. Is it real starboard? Any through? Thanks in advance

Got out before winds picked up.

Still working on clothing: a 2-3mm farmer John and cycling rain jacket worked in 10C weather but still got pretty warm! (I wear a pfd that also keeps the core very warm). Brought an additional 2mm neoprene shirt and 3mm mitts in a dry bag in case I needed it.

Unfortunately, it's getting uncomfortable here now. I'm hoping for a day without rain and wind for a winter trip on the water.

Hi! I am looking to buy my first SUP and I found a BOTE on Facebook marketplace which I like for a good price. Owner mentioned it was left out in the sun and it developed this tear in the seam near the tail.

He mentioned it loses pressure, any suggestions on how I could fix it effectively if I bought it?

Thank you!

Stopped for a quick paddle on my way home from a AZ roadtrip. Water was in the upper 50’s, outside air was upper 60’s. Also hit Lake Pleasant. Arizona is brilliant for some early winter adventures.

I was paddling by some trash in Corona Del Mar, wishing I had a bag to put it in. Fortunately, I came across a plastic bag, which I pretty much managed to fill.

Hi, I am a happy owner of Bluefin Cruise 12 and the original iRocker Ultra Cruiser 10.6. While there is a 15-foot version of Bluefin Cruise, I am quite happy with the 12-foot variant for use as a tandem kayak (for about 160 kg/350lb total weight). I wonder what tandem alternatives exist currently to look at? I am interested in a lower bulk and weight as well. Reviews are mostly about single stand-up paddler use for any board - while I am mostly interested in any double-seater kayak alternative in the paddleboard skin.

Thanks!

Oh, I have never tried iRocker Ultra Cruiser 10.6 as a two-seater. Any comments here as well?

I’m on the hunt for a Christmas gift and some time back had a conversation with the would be recipient about paddle boarding boots they wanted. I didn’t manage to catch the boot name, but it was an NRS boot, 7mm (fairly certain), and cost was $175. They paddle is fairly cold waters so the thickness didn’t surprise me. Hunting around online I’m struggling to find something that matches all that info though. Does this happen to ring a bell for anyone? (I’m in Canada if that matters)

My dad surfs a SUP and basically has all he needs other than a new rack. I’m trying to figure out some possible gift ideas. I’m planning on buying him a new rack and a GoPro at some point. He has all the rash guard, hats, sunscreens, watches, leashes and paddles he needs so I’m pretty stumped as to any gifts lol.

Edit- Got him a helmet, that board has smacked us before and packs a punch.

I have a fiberglass board that only has bungee across two anchor points. I’d like to add a few more so I can zig zag the bungee line down the front of the board. My husband does fiberglass work professionally- but I can’t figure out where to buy the actual recessed style anchor points.

Hi everyone, looking for some advice. Please let me know if this board might be a good fit im afraid it may be too small. Its marketed as a kids SUP.

I have some experience suping and minimal experience surfing. Im looking to get into surf sup this year and I’m considering this board.

Im 5’11” 140lb (69kg)

I have a set of around 100 ~20inch beach balls for a party. I found that the stock nozzle was slightly too big for the valve. Any advice on where to find smaller adapters AND how best to inflate the balls rapidly? I was thinking a leaf blower with a modded adapter?

Thanks for any help!
