Sub7 foot SunFish SUP surfing video
« on: July 26, 2014, 08:36:28 PM »
G'day,
This is a short video of me surfing my latest short SUP. It is 6'10 x 32"x 120 ltr Fish style surf SUP board.

I am 60yr 95kg 173cm tall Australian semi retired board builder.

The short board SUP revolution is here.

Enjoy
Rod Hocker

One of the boys suggested that I should post it up here.

This link takes you to the bumpy surf video of the 6'10" SunFish
It's always interesting to see how new designs handle the worst conditions

Interesting, kind of like the dimensions my Vernor with two feet chopped off.

The rider is about my weight (though shorter) and does not seem to sink the board that much.

That is a REALLY short SUP. Nice riding and it looked WAY looser w/fins forward. i'd like to try that thing! btw-was that a shark when you were paddling out? It looked more like a dolphin.
One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"
