Classifieds / 9'11" x 31" Walden Magic Model $499 (San Diego)
« on: January 06, 2017, 09:47:15 AM »
Thinning out the quiver.  Board is in good shape, watertight, some clearcoat over graphics peeling on bottom, but generally looks and rides great.  Board description from the website is below.  Asking $499    John 

The Walden Magic Model 9’11” Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) is an excellent all round performance board that’s equally comfortable riding waves or cruising on flat water.

Like all Magic Models this SUP features Walden’s patented hull design. Single concave runs from the nose through to the midpoint creating lift and stability. This is particularly good for nose-riding. Then a double concave extends towards the tail to maintain response when turning on a wave. A smooth, continuous rocker and a moderate amount of vee out through the tail preserves the maneuverability, while the bevel running around the perimeter of the board adds forgiveness in more critical situations. Walden SUP’s have a step deck, which reduces the volume in the rail. This adds sensitivity and bite when trimming along a wave, while still allowing the board to sit high in the water. Other features include the deck pad with an arch bar and kick, and a clear textured traction that runs to the nose. The generous outline on the Walden 9’11” SUP provides enough stability for SUP enthusiasts of all levels who want to mix the enjoyment of flat-water exploration with the excitement of riding waves.

Approx board weight: 25.24lbs.

SUP General / to PFD or not to PFD
« on: October 29, 2012, 09:51:03 PM »
I mostly ride my board in surf, but have occasionally paddled in a nearby bay.  I haven't seen a Harbor Police boat while in the bay (yet), but I'm wondering if I'm risking a $250 ticket for not having a PFD and whistle on board?  I haven't seen anyone except SUP renters wearing PFDs in the bay, and there are quite a few paddlers out these days.  PFDs were not attached to boards for non-renters either.  Being an avid waterman and good swimmer, I'm thinking the PFD would only be in my way.  Anyone ever been ticketed?   :-\

Gear Talk / Try Pearson Arrow as quad fin?
« on: October 29, 2012, 09:23:37 PM »
I have a 10-0 Laird Pearson Arrow with 5 fin boxes. Have only tried it with thruster setup (8" middle fin).  Anyone tried this type of board with quad fin setup?  It's pretty loose as a thruster -- wonder if it would be too loose as a quad.  Maybe I just have to give it a go and see what cooks.   ::)
