Definitely ride... remember that you have to go up before you get the reward of going down. The exercise with the reward of the down hill ride is addicting.
You just have to know your limits. And know that is is really easy to slip past your limits & go over the bars. A good bike with some really good brakes...
I prefer the dirt single tracks over being on a road where some one driving a car is not looking out for you.

Great looking board

Paddle recommendation’s

Kenalu mana, or Ho’oloa

Quick blade
Trifecta or v drive... I really dig the handle on these qb paddles


I own both the Ho’oloa and v drive, both really great paddles. The other 2 are on my wish list.

New dugouts

Best way to decide is to try both before you buy... 14’ers seem to be better for the +200 pound group. 14’ glide better, but it is easier to turn a 12/6.

It's got to be a tough business to forecast sales of a product that you have to order 8+months in advance and pay for it by the container full when it hits the docks in China Etc...

Best thing would be that all shops would have to pre-order at the outdoor retailer shows & surf expo, with manufacturer's having minimal extra off the shelf stock & leave the rest to custom board orders.

Bummer to see these Brands struggle

Same here eastbound...

I’ve noticed the same looks from surfers vs sup surfers as skateboarders had with roller blader’s. Funny thing... I paddle in a gravel pit lake, and I’ve seen some other paddlers that are not on sups let’s just say traditional single person ocean paddle craft that won’t look up for a houdy from me on my sup. It’s a gravel pit not M2O
