Gear Talk / Board recommendations for the chop
« on: January 09, 2022, 11:44:12 AM »
Hey all,

I’ve been riding a Red Sport 11 x 30 ISUP and am looking for a hard board. Either 12’6 or maybe 14.

Weight: 160
Height 5’4
Age: 42
Hair : balding

Looking back at old post in the forum, 26 inch width comes up a quite bit as a progression for stepping down from an all around ISUP. But, I still struggle with balance in side chop, heavy chop and successive boat wakes. Can’t focus on paddling as much, but I don’t fall off much. But, love the challenge! definitely am experiencing the limitations of my board I think. The nose gets knocked around easy. 

I also paddle with two other guys on all arounds boards. We like to paddle from flat water out to the open water, up wind and get blown back in - but definitely not real downwinders lol
So I’m looking for something with more performance than I have now - but not sure if an all water race board is gonna be too much paddling with the other guys on All around hard boards.

Starboard Generation seems like it might be a good fit, although I won’t be surfing around here. There is a new SIC Bayonet for sale on FB market place right now for 2k, or maybe an SiC Okeanos.

Too many choices!!!

Gear Talk / Race board on the roof
« on: November 15, 2021, 11:25:30 AM »
Hi all,

First post here. Is it feasible or possible to safely transport a 14 foot board on the roof of a smaller car, like a sedan, hatch, or mid size sedan?

Every car I’ve seen carrying race boards has been an SUV, But in a small car where the board is as long as the car itself, there doesn’t seem to be an easy attachment point to tie down the stern of the board to the front of the car like I see people do with canoes on hatchbacks.

Or is it a non issue really, just get a roof rack and throw it on? I’m trying to figure out logistics before I go with a 14 footer..

Thanks!
Jason
