BIC DuraTec Youth 8'4" - $160 on Amazon
« on: April 24, 2015, 07:36:40 AM »
I think this is a pretty stupid cheap price.

http://www.amazon.com/BIC-Sport-DURA-TEC-Paddleboard-23-25-Inch/dp/B00NGDGHO6/ref=sr_1_6?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1429885998&sr=1-6&keywords=paddle+board

Looks like it would be ok for someone less than 80lbs.  Was looking for something my 8 and 11 year old boys could ride and came across this

I already have a couple of those. They're my longboards without the deckpad and handle. 23" wide probably 4" thick. That's a big boy longboard.

Great price though... Better than buying a foamy longboard at Costco. Your boys would have a blast on them :D
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

I bought one to try out...fir the price, I didn't want to think about it and then miss it.  The 11 year old is 110lbs I think.  Curious to see how he'll do on it.  Worst case, I'm pretty sure you could get your money back out of it on CL.

thanks for the response.

I paid more for dinner out for 2 last weekend.

Thanks for finding that, I bought it for my quiver. My kids can SUP on it and it will be great to introduce people to surfing. I have lots of people who ask to learn and I have been wishing I had a bomb-proof setup to loan them. I will in 2 days. 8)
Make paddleboarding great again!

Exactly!  It's the Bic Magnum longboard as a kids SUP. 

My friend & I had a blast trying to paddle them at one of our demos... we couldn't even go from knees to standing without sinking it, so we took running starts off the dock, jumped on the board, and paddled like hell... after about a minute the board would just sink.

Hi, my names Bill. I just joined a couple weeks ago, just getting into flat water SUP and I found this forum. I bought one of these for my grand kids today, for $152.48 after seeing this post. Thanks for the heads up!!
Now the price is dropped to $144.86 and showing 4 left.

Just got $7.62 back with a cust serv chat, that only took a few minutes. That's the first time, I ever did a price adjustment with amazon. Actually never thought about it til I read juandoe's post. Thanks juan!

I recognized the shape right away - it's a Peter Pan Slug blown up to a kiddie SUP or big guy surfboard.  In fact it's the same dims as the BIC Magnum Peter Pan surfboard.  I've had Slugs in my quiver for 30 yrs and they're really fun riders.  Had to buy one just to check it out. Thank you Zoners for the heads up !
