Yo Zoners,

Headed to Nantucket for a week in August and I bringing a bike and some boards. Wondering if anyone has a SUP mule or bike board carrier they would be willing to sell?

Thank You

Reaching out for a little board help. I am flying into SF this week for a conference and going on a little surf safari this weekend.

 I would like to purchase a used surf sup somewhere around 120 to 130 liters somewhere in the Bay Area this week-Oakland is best. I will leave it for future trips. Can be an older model, can be dinged up. I will have a car for pickup.

My first board was a Coreban 9'6 performer and my current ride is an 8'4 Rawson.

Any thoughts? Clay?

This lifesaving balloon might bring a nubile teenager to the surface but I don't think it will do much for the denser among us.

SUP General / Dupuytren's Contracture
« on: June 12, 2015, 11:04:06 AM »
So the gloves thread motivated me to put this out there.

Does anyone here besides me have Dupuytrens Contracture?

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dupuytrens-contracture/basics/definition/con-20024378

My grandfather had it and now it is ramping up in me. It makes your ring and pinky finger contract permanently. Apparently most people don't find it painful but I do especially after paddling. This is aggravating me on several levels one I normally feel I have a high pain tolerance but nope not in this case and two, you know, it hurts.

Has anyone here ever had their Dupeuytren's fixed with surgery or needles? How long was the down down time. How long until paddling?

I am falling apart. I see the knee guy in two weeks to schedule a micro fracture. As Indian Jones said "it is not the age it is the mileage"

Thanks,

Marta

SUP General / "Ralph's Pic of the Week" read the intro and discuss....
« on: October 05, 2014, 06:13:08 PM »
http://www.ralphspic.com/newsletter.html

I have never met Ralph. I do read his blog weekly. I enjoy it. He is a dogged surf photographer. Ralph has been blogging Seacoast NH surf for 10 years and he tells good stories;  surf and none surf related stories. He really puts his heart  and his beliefs out there for all to read and I have max respect for that.

He is not a lover of the SUP.  We most certainly disagree on the what riding a wave means. As a skier I could not imagine anyone  telling Jeramy Jones that his snowboarding is not legitimate glisse?  Ralph seems to think that proner's  have a monopoly on the essence of riding  waves.

This effects me because we have a small but terrific area to surf between southern Maine and the NH/mass boarder. I am generally trying to evolve as a sup'er with etiquette who still gets enough waves to evolve. 

A note about myself, I am overly sensitive and any bad vibes in the line up annihilate my stoke and send me home confused, angry and sad, sad like reading Ralph's blog just made me. ( I understand I need a thicker skin)

Downwind and Racing / NorthEast Downwinder
« on: October 14, 2013, 08:30:38 AM »
I hope someone can support this post with photos or some GoPro vid.

Saturday was the Hampton's Paddle for Ocean Rescue in Montauk, NY. The Course was set up to be a downwinder going Southwest to Northeast or vice versa. It blew stink out of the Northeast-FKNA-It was downhill all the way in waist to chest wind swell. Many people including myself went for loooooong sleigh rides. I must have soared 50 meters over the last sandbar before the turn for the portage. After three years of racing in the Northeast in everything from ink, ripples, heinous headwinds, I want to kill somebody cross chop and pound your ass shore break we finally got a legit downwind run. And the course and weather were gorgeous. We got ourselves about a mile off shore banged a left and went zooming by undeveloped dunes and woods. I wore trunks and a rash guard and needed my sunscreen.

Thank you to Evelyn and the Main Beach Ocean Rescue crew for hosting and putting on a special event.

To my peeps from the east Dani, Jill, Chris, and Johnny may you avoid a shore break pounding and good luck.

My prediction for the elite are Annabel Anderson and Kai. Distance race Annabel and Connor.

NorthEast / Lobstah SUP Cup-Roll Call
« on: August 05, 2013, 08:58:03 AM »
Call To Arms!!! Who is going to the 1st annual LSC? Two days, 25 miles of racing and it looks like tailwinds. A good schmattering of the NH/Cape fun hogs are attending. Discuss strategy, best Maine micro brews or the perfect Lobstah Roll recipe, I like them simple, no celery, only mayo on a buttered, toasted bun.

Gear Talk / New Board......
« on: June 18, 2013, 05:31:23 AM »
Time for a new board. All I know is the Coreban Performer and I do know her so well. She has been amazing. I have fallen all over her. Slammed her nose into a jetty after being warned to "not hit the jetty". She has been dinged and  fixed, traveled to Costa Rica. My Performer entered a SUP surf contest with her rider a tender aged 43. I learned to go left, learned to go right, found out that nose time is fun time, learned to fade backside and send a swooping, howling, joyous turn right back at the lip and settle into the pocket. It was not her fault I pissed off a few folks in a few lineups because, well, I did not know what I did not know. Now we wow people in lineups sometimes.

I am a quiver of one girl who is 5'9 and soon to be around 155lbs. Like myself I would like my next playmate to displace a few less liters of water. Have the option to run a quad set up, and be slightly more progressive without making a three hour session in some chop masochistic, Cirque Du Soleil balancing act. I would like my board to be a few pounds lighter. I am seriously considering the Coreban Reactor. I have tried the Reactor in some technical, big beach break but was tentative because I did not want to damage it and kinda nervous about a whole day of competing ahead so went back to my old friend. I can try her again and will. Am I losing enough volume and weight with the Reactor to make the next progression to more dymamic riding-making more sections, getting above the lip---is tube time in my future with the Reactor? Can I keep stylin' my nose riding steeze? There are so many choices and so many great boards out there? I am only concerned that the reactor with be to close to what I have. It is hard to get info online about the Reactor so I am reaching out to the community for a few thoughts.

SUP General / "We don't allow SUPS at Rye Rocks"
« on: December 12, 2012, 12:08:35 PM »
followed by "this spot is for surfing only" followed by a bunch of other suggestions for me I will get to in a minute.

On the 10th of December after driving from Janness in NH. to Salisbury in MA. looking at breaks my buddy(shortboarder) and I decide Rye Rocks is the only place really worth paddling out to because of an east wind and short period. Rye Rocks is a point break with super easy access right off a fairly busy coast road. It can be reasonably clean when everything else is junk. It is a pretty technical drop with a very small lineup and really cannot handle more then 10 to 15 people or so. It gets great, like really great and I have watched many stellar waves ridden there. I had sup'ed there twice previously when it was very small and only 4 of us were out. When my buddy and I paddle out there were 3 people out so we made five. I rotated in a few times caught some waves and was having fun with my buddy. I know perfectly well this is not a SUP friendly break. So just when I get my best wave and I am moving down the line having a ton of fun I hear grumbling as I pass a guy paddling out for his first wave, right away I know he is not complimenting my steezy style :-*. Sure enough I zoom off the shoulder and paddle back out to "SUPS are not allowed" followed by something like  there are waves all over the place go somewhere else but no SUPS here because it sets a "precedent" and finally "don't take this personally". My only response on this round was "I am not taking this personally" which was not true and  immediately go from enjoying my session to being bummed out. I am sensitive, really I am, I take anger and aggression hard and I take shit to heart, personally. So I hang on the shoulder catch another ride, from the inside out of anybodies way. Knowing my time on the peak is over primarily for my own sanity because I can't be near the bullshit. There are now 8 people out all prone but me. I paddle back out after my inside wave and apparently I need it explained to me more clearly. So I sit down and listen. "Rye Rocks is for Surfers" SUP'ers can go lots of other places. "WE had to go through this 10 years ago with kayakers". "It sets a precedent (he seemed worried about precedent) when other SUP'ers drive by and see you from the road and think it is allright to SUP here". My response to round two was to sit down and listen and I responded with "I will be riding waves here today" and got back in the rotation for the inside waves. But ya know what my session was ruined and the chowder and fire I had planned for my buddy and I was looking better and better. I waited it out for a nice meaty wave and rode it in. I tried to style it out for Lenny(my antagonist). This guy used "we" a bunch of times. I ....think he was being a tool.  

My feelings on exclusivity are not kind. I do not believe in pulling the ladder up after you in most any instance. I am particularly  un-likely to honor some fairy tale rule making amongst a bunch of guys because they were there first at a surf break in New Hampshire. It is rarely my first thought to go there because it is crowded but it is one of the best waves within my striking distance and it is a left and I am goofy foot. I am really looking forward to heading out there again sometime in the future. I believe in sharing and if the long boarder that was out there was not being such a wave hog we all would have gotten a few more rides including Lenny who appeared to be a pretty good surfer as was his young son. Who got to witness his dad being the boss.

I used quotes where I could very clearly remember what was said. I thought about posting this in the regional section and perhaps the administer will move it there but I was hoping to get some thoughts from the larger community here.

I am open to being dead wrong about SUPing at Rye Rocks but it will take some convincing.
