NEW RON HOUSE 9'1" BAT TAIL QUAD

Hell yes!! A sneak peek at the new Ron House 9'1" bat tail quad. This bad boy comes in at 9'1" x 27 1/2 x 4 1/8. I will post pics of the new Ron House 9'11" swallow tail/ wing tail quad and the Gerry Lopez 10'3" tomorrow. OUT.

New Gerry Lopez and Ron House SUP boards in the house.

The new 10'3" Gerry Lopez SUP boards will be in shops Wednesday. Also, two new kick ass Ron House Sup boards will be available Wednesday as well. A 9'1" quad and a 9'11" quad. These will be high performance SUP boards with no bells and whistles. If your looking for a SUP board that surfs like a short board these are the boards for you. I can't wait to get my hands on the 9'1". I will post pics of all three of these new boards tomorrow. OUT.

THE ART OF OVER ANALYZING

I've never seen anything like this in my 30 years of surfing. The over analyzing of the SUP board. Grown men that have been surfing for 30+ years wanking because their SUP board doesn't have a handle or doesn't have a red race strip down the center. Are we not men?! What's the board made of? How much does it weigh? What size boxers does the shaper wear? Where was the board made? What did the shaper eat for dinner the night before he shaped the board? For the love of Pete please give us all a break and just surf!!! OUT.

SANTA BARBARA DEMO DAYZ

Another successful SUP demo today. Big turn out as usual. We topped it off with a great afternoon surf a few miles south and knocked down a few beers at the local pub on the way home. Life is good. OUT.

LOOKS LIKE FUN

HOT DAMN! POP TART VS HAND LAID

OK boys and girls, it's time to dedicate some blog space to some real watermen on some real SUP boards. That's right damn it!! I'm going to post some big time SUP home boys surfing some good old fashioned hand laid epoxy boards. Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with pop out boards and I have no problem where pop out boards are made. In fact I have surfed just about every pop out board on the market and have liked most of them. Bottom line is this, the pop out board just doesn't have the same feel as a real hand laid glass board in my humble opinion. Are we not men damn it!!! OUT.

SANTA BARBARA SUP DEMO

Another Santa Barbara SUP event. This Saturday June 7th at Ledbetter beach. Lots of boards to check out. You wont find this kind of SUP variety anywhere else. See you there. OUT.

STICKY STUFF AND ANOTHER DEMO DAY

Ever try and take a pad off your old SUP board? Well I have a few times and it is a major pain in the ass!! The 3m sticky stuff is a big time over kill. I am now taking the pad off my 3 year old Ron House 12 footer. I got this wild hair to dial it in again. It takes hours and hours to get this sticky shit off the board. Yes, I AM venting!!

Also, this Saturday June 7th at Ledbetter Beach will be another Standup Paddle Sports SUP demo. Yup, lots of SUP boards to try out. RSVP Wardog at www.surfingsports.com. OUT.
