Body Glove SUP??
« on: July 26, 2016, 07:34:46 PM »
The boys are getting old enough to go out on the bay on a big floaty board with me or the wife. All of my surf SUPs are too small and too expensive to use as a beater so I found a place selling their rental fleet. They have 11'6" Body Glove boards for a decent price - anyone know much about them?  Mainly I need something stable and durable - I don't care how they surf since these are for the bay only. Plus they don't need to be fast - on not planning on racing them...  Not many reviews - although I think they're made by Focus?

Did a bit more research and found out that they're just re-branded Focus 11'6" Smoothies; picked up a couple for $300 each.  They're not perfect since they came out of a rental fleet and they're kinda heavy but they're in pretty good shape for the price and they should be perfect for the intended application...

I thought BodyGlove was repackaging Bics.

Maybe this is for next year? I have a BodyGlove Surf, which is a repackaged plastic Imagine Surfer.

The boards we bought are a year old so it looks like BG moved from Focus to BIC...
