Gear Talk / Re: Longboard Style SUP: Yes, but wich one?

« on: January 29, 2019, 04:24:06 PM »

I have been riding this NSP super X. 9' x 28 116 L
I have also tried the 10' x 27 and its crazy fun, but the 9' is the best trimming SUP I have ever ridden. See video below of Paul Jonesy from AUS.

The guys who paid huge money for Jimmy Styks SUP are under pressure. Thoughts?

He does my friend’s head in on Instagram. He keeps following him then when my friend follows back then Zane ditches him.....and so it goes on. 

Instagram Bot... Your friend probably uses simple hashtags like #standuppaddle right? Zane's bot looks for those tags, follows, then unfollows.

Instagram story has nice tribute to Naish then immediately jumps to him on the top of a mountain with Kelly Slater? Hmmm.

Check out the Boardworks Mini mod 9'1 or 9'6".. Wide tail makes it quite stable for the length.

Michigan, Wolverine bought them and immediately shipped all the manufacturing to china.  That's how it's done these days.

The tour will be as successful as the effort put into it. You can do a demo tour and really get people pumped up. there's no specific format one has to adhere to. Look at Red Bull, probably the most successful branding company on the planet. Well, maybe that's Nike, but still. Red Bull OWNs crazy.  The do the pflugtag thingy. Simply amazing. What does it have to do with energy drinks that taste like panther piss and are certainly addictive? Nada. Does it work? You betcha. Why--because they work their asses off to make it work.

One small correction here. Wolverine did not ship the production to China. Chaco, had been making all of their sandals in China for 2 years prior to the sale. The good thing is, you can still get custom Chacos made in any color you want, and they are made in MI. They also run a RECHACO program, where you can get your sandals re-soled or repaired.
