Travel, Trips, Destinations / Bali for Month of April

« on: January 05, 2016, 09:49:46 AM »

My wife and I are going to be staying in Bali for April and wanted to ask around for some suggestions.  We both are experienced surfers and I sup, and hopefully bringing my new sup as well.  We are currently looking around west bukit but are open to suggestions.  We are really relaxed and not into the party or tourist scene at all.  I'm open to any ideas as to where to stay, as this is a new area for me to explore.  Thanks

Gear Talk / New Surf SUP paddle

« on: November 12, 2015, 04:56:27 PM »

Hello all.  I have a new board on the way (L41 ST!!!) and wanted to pickup a new paddle.  I wanted to ask what is the suggested blade size & paddle length for a surf specific paddle (i'm 5'10" 175 lbs).  Right now my paddle is about 6" above head height.  I was looking at the Kialoa Insanity carbon/fiber glass blend fixed paddle, but am open to other suggestions in that price range.

Thanks for the help.

Gear Talk / 8'10" mana hollow waves

« on: June 22, 2014, 08:10:13 AM »

Hi I posted this in travel but didn't get any replies so I'll try here.  I'm taking my 8'10" mana on a surf trip to central nicaragua and wanted to know how does this board handle hollow waves, barrels and such. I won't be screwing with dumpy beach break, have my short board for that if I even use it.
Thanks for the help

Hi has anybody SUS'ed these waves?  I believe they are both left points, seem hollow, fast at times.  I'm bringing an 8'10" Mana. Just curious how this board will do, most problems will probably be operator error i'm sure.
Thanks

Gear Talk / New SoFla board advice

« on: April 27, 2014, 02:30:58 PM »

Hello all,

Great info on this site, helped in my original purchase.  I picked up a 2013 Naish Mana 9'5" back in February for the intent of surfing.  I had never surfed a SUP before so went with a board I got a good price on and had a good reputation.  I had a blast, put down my surfboard and have been SUP surfing for the past few months.  I like the board but want to go smaller, snappier and less volume. I'm a 37 y/o male, half way decent surfer, about average I guess, 5'10" and 170lbs.  The waves in my area for the most part are wind chop, but we do have few days of ground swell with the cold fronts or hurricanes.
I tried out a 8'5" Mana yesterday, liked it and volume was stable for me, but felt the lightness of the wood might not be so good in the wind and cost is a little high for me. 
So I'm thinking about picking up a 2014 8'10" Mana, but also looking at other options under 9' around 130ltrs and surfable.
What other options would you guys suggest?
Thanks for the input!
