SoCal / SUP around Newport Beach

« on: February 05, 2016, 05:54:39 PM »

I'm going to be in the Newport area mid Feb and I'm going to bring my SUP (and my skim) and I seek some advice.

After reading up a bit my plan is to SUP at Bolsa Chica mostly as I'm used to Canadian and Oregon waters where you often have 2-3 other people to share waves with. I'm average skill at best and prefer longboard style mellow waves to getting barreled.

Any other spots to consider?

Anyone have any tips on where to skim? I'm more of a flatland skimmer so a wave novice but I do have a decent wave board.

Temperature wise what should I expect? I have a 6/5 hooded and a 5/4, after that it's just 2 mm pants + 1.5 mm top. I like to be warm though so I'm thinking 5/4 should be okay.

SUP General / Separated Shoulder

« on: June 13, 2015, 04:23:33 PM »

Recently suffered a 2nd degree separated shoulder skim boarding. It's been a week and I have 2 more weeks until a surf trip (3 weeks total recovery time).

Anyone who has experienced a separated shoulder know what kind of shape I could expect to be in to be able to paddle after 3 weeks of rehab?

Gear Talk / Futures Single Center Fin For Flatwater

« on: April 07, 2015, 11:15:20 AM »

I just picked up a Uli GL 10-0 Special Edition primarily for surfing but I was wondering if there are any decent options for better tracking fins for it for flat water. Obviously there are massive options for longboard fins but I need to find a Futrues.

Anyone have any feedback on the Red Paddle Co Surf Star 9'2 in small surf?

I'm looking for an iSUP for longboard style small wave riding, something that can catch small mushy waves early and nose ride.

Does anyone have any experience or reviews of the JP Surf SurfAir 9'? I can't seem to find anything on it.
