Two great vids and epic conditions on both of these runs!  8) Good to see that you have safety in mind too. Thanks for sharing!  :)

I’m 185lbs and love my 14 x 27” Bump Rider for upwind/downwind sessions. If any doubt I’d go for the wider board.

JEG, Yep I am missing those HK winter downwind runs.... now I'm living in the NE USA, but our season is just starting..

SUP General / Re: How Many Do You Have?

Beasho. That picture made me laugh out loud! I’ve never thought what the collective pronoun for a collection of wetsuits is are until now.. A flock? A gaggle? A sheath?

In Hong Kong I had one 3mm farmer John and two 2mm tops. One zippered and one not. That was all that was needed for the winter. 

Here in the US North East coast I still have that but also a 7mm hooded suit. I use 3mm, 5mm and 8mm booties and 3mm palmless mitts and 7mm full mitts when it gets cold. I also find a windproof lightweight jacket over the top of any wetsuit is really good at keeping in the heat in downwind conditions...

Luc. Sorry to hear about your loss. Having used my Velocitek now on 3 different boards I can tell you that I must have stopped losing it because of the tether over 5 times. If you’re clumsy like me then tether it! It’s surprising how easy it is to hit the unit with your paddle and for the thing to pop off despite it being “clicked in”.

Gear Talk / Re: Most surfable downwind board?
« on: August 25, 2018, 07:27:29 AM »
Of the boards I regularly downwind, the SICMaui F16v3, SIC Bullet 14v1 TWC, 2017 SB Ace 14' x 27", and the 2017 Blue Planet Bump Rider, the Bump Rider is the most surfy IMO, and the most fun..

The Ace is the least surfable..... at least with my skills...

Foil SUP / Re: M2M today vs last weekend
« on: July 14, 2018, 05:36:01 PM »
Today Connor won on an unlimited in 3:17 and Kai Lenny’s time on a foil was 2:17, exactly an hour less and a course record. Foiling has come a long way in a short time!

Downwind and Racing / Re: Light DW <25 knots contenders
« on: June 25, 2018, 07:14:01 PM »
For light downwinders, I'm a great fan of the clog, and in particular the Starboard Ace 14 x 27. Just so much more responsive fast and fun than my SIC Bullet 14 V1, or Blue Planet Bump Rider 14 or the SIC F16v1... but when winds get above 25 knots the Ace gets a little squirly and I'd rather be on on any of the other 3 boards.... The Bump Rider at the lower end, and then the V1 and F16 for the higher end.

Light winds on the Ace...

Strong winds on the Ace
