SUP General / Re: Anyone in New England have a beginner surfsup to sell ?
« on: September 05, 2023, 06:24:23 PM »
I have a Laird 10'6" x 29.75" 154L that I'll let go. It is beat up and ugly but it still works and has life in it. I consider a great board for a beginner all the way to advanced. I'm down in Westport Mass. Text me if interested. 508 951-3102

SOLD! Finally. On here for a year and nothing. On FB Marketplace for a week and it sold.

I have an early 10'6" Surftech Laird Pearson Arrow. I've had it over 12 years now. It is my favorite board ever. The pintail is sublime. I've tried many boards since then but this one is my all time favorite. It is beat to hell and if I can find an old one in good shape I'd buy it in a heartbeat. If you have a lead on one and you don't buy it please send me the seller's details. I've been thinking about contacting Pearson to see if he'll make a custom replica to replace my old dog in a bit lighter layup.

2021 SIC Bullet 12'6" in the SuperFly layup. This is one of the very last Bullets in the SF layup. They do not make it anymore. This board is structurally perfect, it has never hit anything and there is no damage. It is very light. Cosmetically it is almost perfect. There is one small superficial paint chip on the tail and a few light scuffs here and there. I bought this board new in April 2021 and have used it lightly only 5 or 6 times. I am just not using it so I'd like to get it to someone who will. I am including a heavy duty BIC 12'6" bag that has been used for a few years on other boards and shows some wear but it works perfect. Located in southeast Mass. $2,200

Does anyone have a 10'6' Laird Pearson Arrow in decent shape kicking around that they'd sell? Thanks.

I’m sure the fact that there were drug tests has nothing to do with the absence of some big names.


A controversial claim there.......
Not exactly sure what you mean by his opinion being controversial. But if you disagree with that opinion I am with you 100%. I took his statement to be extremely sarcastic.

I’ve been thinking about getting a big board, primarily for relaxed cruising between breaks... but for surf. 

What are peoples’ thoughts about using an oversized performance surf shaped board instead of a longboard or large allrounder shape?

Granted if super-sized, a performance shape wouldn’t reach the performance it was designed for. BUT, if my goals do not include shredding or stylized longboarding, what harm in having decent rails and a shape that can turn?  (…and for the humility record I can’t shred or drop a knee turn.)

So specific example – The ‘appropriate’ Jimmy Lewis World Wide for my 185lb would be the 8’9 (141L).   But there is also a 9’9 x33” (171L).   Would that be a big board that is fun? … or just a big pain in the a** … ?
Find an old Laird (Pearson) 10'6" It's my all-time favorite board. Pearson got this right over 10 years ago and I haven't seen anything as good in this category (long surf board (not longboard)) that can cruise. 29" wide, 150ish L. Pin tail and razor thin rails it turns on a dime. We've all seen the vids...

My wife and I had the pleasure of paddling an OC6 in Maui last week with some friends  and had an absolute blast. So much so that I started looking for an OC1 for home. We live about a 50 yard walk from Narragansett Bay and storage isn’t a problem so I thought it would be fun to have one at the house. The problem I’m having is actually tracking down one to buy. Closest one I could find was in North Carolina. Kind of a bummer but I’ll continue to keep my eyes open. If anyone here knows anyone within the northeast that has one they would be willing to part with, please let me know. An OC2 would be fine too but I know chances of that are even more unlikely.
Call Sam at Osprey in Westport. She has one and would know of any active groups or other folks. She loves hers.

Put me in the big board camp. Everyone is different but for me SUP surfing is about cruising, comfort, and long board feel. I love surfing a 14' board and my favorite surf SUP is a 10 year old 10' 6" Laird (154 Liters). For me I have never enjoyed going smaller. But enjoy what works for you, just don't fall into the FOMO trap that smaller is always better for everyone.

What about abroad? Lots of great countries where a retired expat can live quite well.
