Surf is where you find it!

Levels have been too high for this wave lately but things are prettymuch back to normal now!

The strainer in the background is a bit of a problem though!

Thanks!

No - I have not paddled the Rapidfire but was tempted by price and availability!

The SUPercharger is certainly a more modern design, I beleive the Rapidire has been around for a few years!

I also have a Badfish MVP which is a lot more snappy on the waves but not as robust!

Post by: UKRiverSurfers on September 22, 2014, 11:28:12 AM: Yeah - for ferrying, breaking in and out, all the same rules apply to WW SUP as to WW kayak..

Are you in the UK?
