Classifieds / SUP race & downwind boards for sale in Rhode Island

« on: August 08, 2023, 09:39:55 AM »

Yes, I know not many are looking for raceboards anymore but cross posting here amongst some other sites for visibility. Downsizing to make some room for some new stuff.

1.) Infinity Downtown, 14 x 25.5" - this is their flat deck downwind board and it's awesome. It's surprisingly nimble in flat water too. Just took 2nd place in a race in Lake Champlain last weekend. Board has only been wet about 4 times. $1800 (retail is $2995)

2.) Infinity Whiplash, 12'6 x 25" - this was handmade in their CA shop about 6 years ago. It's definitely seen some use but still one of their fastest designs ever and an excellent "all around" race board that I've even used on downwind runs or in waist-high surf. Only a side handle but there are screw inserts glassed over in the middle in case you want to add a center handle. Board has some repairs but it's water tight. $900

Located in southern RI but happy to meet somewhere in New England if that's easier. I'm on the Cape about once a month also but can get there whenever. Thanks!

Classifieds / 2019 14' x 24" Infinity Blackfish

« on: June 10, 2019, 02:24:52 PM »

Thinning the quiver this summer and this one has only been paddled 3 times. It's a 2019 LTD version (lighter and all black carbon nose and tail). 14x24. Looks brand new. Serious inquiries only. I'm only listing it on the Zone as I'd rather hang onto it if it won't go to a good home of another Zoner. PM me for price if you're interested. Possible delivery/meetup possible in the New England area although I do happen to be driving to Reading, PA on Wednesday so anywhere along that route can work too.

Classifieds / Surf/SUP/Camper Van

« on: April 02, 2019, 06:14:45 AM »

Hey All, I'm selling my van that is ready to roll for some surf/SUP adventures. I did all of the work myself, bought it about 4 years ago as an empty white cargo van. You can fit up to 12'6 boards inside. I've even removed the passenger seat from time to time and have had 12-14 boards inside at once. I've also camped in it a bunch and it's very comfortable. One time I slept in it at a buddy's house instead of his guest room. His wife thought I was nuts but whatever, I slept like a baby.

I'm selling as is, with all racks, everything included. Link with pics below. Vinyl wrap will be removed prior to sale, unless you want to buy a SUP lesson company too

Travel, Trips, Destinations / Kahekili Highway

« on: March 08, 2019, 01:24:43 PM »

Heading back to Maui in a week and we're planning a few things that haven't done on previous trips. We're staying on the west side, only area that we haven't explored is the stretch between Kahakuloa Head and Kahului. My wife is a little freaked out from what she has read about the Kahekili Highway. I told her it won't be as bad as some people make it out to be. We've done the road to Hana many times, including going around the back side of Haleakala. So for the locals or anyone that has done this stretch of road, how bad is it? I'm assuming that if you drive like a normal person and use common sense, it will be a beautiful drive.

I tried to search other threads on here but didn't have much. I vaguely recall Stoneaxe mentioning that his wife was ready to kill him after driving this section and also remember PonoBill saying he's done it on a motorcycle before it was paved.

Either way, can't wait to be back out there and hopefully get another Maliko run under my belt even though I know it's not the optimal time of year.

Classifieds / 2018 Infinity Whiplash - deep cockpit model (14'x25") - $1800

« on: July 24, 2018, 08:48:32 AM »

Hey all, got a sweet board for sale. 2018 Infinity Whiplash with the deep cockpit. This is one of their new production models. The board is about a month old and has only been in the water about half a dozen times. I'm selling this to get the same one, just narrower. I thought the 25" wide model would be good but the deep cockpit offers so much stability that I'm dropping down to the 23" wide model.

Board looks brand new, not a single blemish on it. Always covered and out of the sun when not in use. Has the ProBox fin setup in the back along with a forward ventral fin. Also has an FCS plug mount on the nose, which can be used to mount a GPS or GoPro. Scupper drains in the cockpit always keep water out but in reality, the only time I got water in there was if I was doing pivot turns. The water clears as soon as you start moving.

Bottom design is SICK and unlike anything I've seen on a raceboard. This board flat out hauls ass. The glide is ridiculous and after paddling many Infinity designs over the years, this is by far the fastest raceboard they have made.

Priced to move. Retail on this model is $3,195. Asking $1800. Located in southern Rhode Island but I'll deliver within New England (within reason) if that helps.

« on: May 01, 2018, 09:23:56 AM »

I'm selling a 2017 Blackfish. 14x24. This was one of their team boards and is custom made in the US. It's only about 7 months old and very lightly used. It's actually been in storage for the past 5 months. It's in great shape with no damage. Has a ventral fin box and single fin box in the rear. Located in southern RI. I can drive within reason to deliver. I'm also on the Cape every so often. Zoner deal @ $1400

Travel, Trips, Destinations / Tahiti/Moorea - SUP friendly spots?

« on: April 09, 2018, 08:54:57 AM »

Hi All,

Heading to Tahiti in a week, specifically the island of Moorea. I found a thread on here started by Blane back when he was active but that thread was from 2009 plus it was Blane and he was there with locals so his experience will be very different than mine. Just curious if anyone has SUP surfed any of the breaks on Moorea. Traveling with the wife and it's not a dedicated surf trip but still hoping to get out for a day or two.

Any advice from anyone that has been here would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sneak Peeks, Rumors, and Wish Lists / 2018 Infinity Production Lineup

« on: October 03, 2017, 05:42:40 PM »

*Disclaimer:  I’m an Infinity dealer and friend of the company. *

While I was out in soCal last week, Infinity held a 2018 product launch for their dealers. They also had their team riders there to talk about the input each had on specific models, ranging from surf to racing.

All I can say is WOW. Dave is constantly pushing the envelope on creativity and new designs. I asked him how he comes up with these design enhancements/innovations and his answer was: “Dude I literally fall asleep dreaming about board shapes.”  I believe it.

The SUP surf lineup is staying pretty much the same but there will be some new constructions offered, including an eco-build. They’re adding two inflatable Wide Aquatic models. The raceboards are where you will see the biggest new additions and changes. Super impressive and interesting designs. He listens to feedback from everyone, not just his top team riders. There’s some really cool stuff on the horizon for them.

I’ll post more specifics about each race model once I’m able to. Stay tuned.

Classifieds / 12'6 Infinity Whiplash (2016 model) in Rhode Island

« on: June 16, 2017, 07:22:41 AM »

I'm selling my custom 12'6 x 25" Whiplash. Dave made this for me with some minor tweaks from the production version. This has a flat deck, no recessed area at all. Also has a little more volume in the nose. For reference, I'm 6'0 and 190lbs. Don't be scared by 25" width, this thing is super stable and handles all conditions very well. I've paddled this on flat water, open ocean, downwind, upwind, surfed it, etc... it's a great all around board that flies.

I don't like a center handle so I only had one installed on the left hand side BUT there are handle screws installed in the center. These are glassed over and were not drilled out but it's very easy to do so if you wanted to move the handle to the center. Also has a custom cut FCS traction pad which is closed cell foam, thin, light and comfortable.

This board has had a few minor repairs made to it but nothing that's even noticeable. Tough to part with this one but I have a new Whiplash and a new Blackfish on the way so just trying to make room.

I have it posted elsewhere for $1500 but I'll let it go to a Zoner for $1350 if you act fast. No fin included but I have a few I could include for some extra $$.

Board is in southern RI but I'll deliver it to anywhere in New England within reason. I'm on the Cape about once a month too.

Classifieds / Couple Infinity surf SUPs

« on: May 04, 2017, 11:38:15 AM »

1) 8'0 x 28" 102L "Trout SUP" This was Slater Trout's personal board. He creased the nose but it was professionally repaired and is water tight. Aside from that, the board is in excellent shape. Really fun board that works in a variety of conditions. 2+1 FCS2 boxes. $750

2) 8'2 x 28" 98L Blurr. This board is like new, no dings or damage at all. Hydroflex glassing, super light but still durable. 4+1 Futures box setup. This thing can handle basically any size you want to paddle out in. Needs a little juice to really get the most out of it. $950

Boards are located in Rhode Island. Would prefer to not ship but I'm not against it if buyer pays for packaging and shipping costs.
