THE KID HAS A KID BOARD

The kid now has a real SUP kid board made for a kid. Instead of jumping on dads monster SUP board he now can ride a SUP board that will make him work hard and get in SUP shape. The board is a Ron House and it's 7' and 24" wide. OUT.

WAYNE RICH PADDLESURF

Local shaper/surfer Wayne Rich is adding a SUP board to his line of high performance longboards. As we all know, Wayne puts hours of thought into every board he shapes. When he is done he has created a masterpiece that is full of soul. I'm not sure I can say that about many other shapers. Anyone that knows Wayne knows what I'm talking about. I first met Wayne about 9 years ago when we worked together at the Clyde Beatty glass shop over on Grey Ave. Wayne would bring me his boards to sand and add the fin boxes. At the time I was learning to shape boards and Wayne would on occasion let me sit in his shaping room and watch. That's when I realized I was 20 years off the back. I shaped a few boards but now leave the shaping to the guys that have put the time in. Now after some time has passed we will be working together again on his SUP projects. I will rep and sell the boards and needless to say I am super stoked. The above pics of his first SUP board is a 10'6" that will be used as the master for a sandwich wrap epoxy SUP board. This board will be available in a couple of months. The boards will have a beautiful finish with a handle added. At first the SUP board will be only available in limited quanties so if you are interested in having your name added to a pre-order list please call 805 450-9490 to reserve a board off of the first container. This for sure will be a popular SUP board in town and abroad. OUT.

GERRY LOPEZ 8'10" SUP QUAD

A sneak peek at the new Gerry Lopez 8'10" quad. This board is 28 1/2 wide and will float even the big guys. Don't hold your breath because this board wont be available for at least 3 months. It's super cool to have Lopez as a hard core SUP guy. It's good for the sport. OUT.
