??? What ....... that's just silly..
« on: July 05, 2015, 09:25:38 PM »
My buddy bought these for his shop. He just sold all four and made money on them. I'm definitely missing something. They come with a 14" long fin too.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Funny how a Google search brings up absolutely nothing on them. I'd like to see someone actually paddle one.

interesting fin placement, that could work. It would be fun to try it.

Wait, but what is it? Is that a mutant paddleboard? It's so short, it seems like a strange boogie board.

I was walking through the harbor this weekend in Dana Point and I saw a pickup with 2 or 3 of these stacked in the back. I did a double-take at first, thinking they were some kind of take-apart board. I was so horrified by the crowds of people that I didn't really give them much thought after that but man they were strange looking in person. I don't knock anything until I try it though, I'd be up for seeing what its like to paddle one.

Could end up being the revolution we've been waiting for like in the late 60's where everyone was chopping off their longboards to make shortboards. This time we're chopping down our raceboards....

I thought it a paddle blade at first. What's it called? What's da dims? What's it doing on this planet?  ???
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"

Kinda like riding a Moped.  It's fun, but you don't want to be seen doing it.

Looks like a KeNalu logo. Hilarious. I think the fins could counter the tendency to yaw with each stroke. I love the idea, anything but a 14' board.
