Gear Talk / Naish 17 Glide finbox install

« on: July 08, 2016, 11:03:40 PM »

I picked up a lightly used Naish 17 Glide and I want to add a fin box.  Before I get out the router has anyone ever chopped in to one of these?  I'm thinking of placement similar to the JL Maliko 14. Is there a stringer or any extended reinforcement around the rudder hole?           Note - I don't plan on using the steering setup at all - just a single fin.

Classifieds / Mistral Equipe 14 inflatable SUP

« on: July 01, 2016, 10:19:45 PM »

Mistral's top of the line iSUP for only $950. These were sold out across Europe and only a few made it to the US. Constructed of a lightweight German material, this board is very light (21 lbs), rigid, and packs down very small. Dimensions are 14' x 28" x 6". This board has been lightly used and is in excellent shape. It has been modified with a stomp pad on the tail and comes with a travel bag, an electric pump, and a SIC carbon fiber fin and the stock fin. Retail on this package would be over $2000. You can read more about this amazing board here: http://www.mistral.com/sup/sup-boards/equipe-14

Events / Round the Rock Seattle return board delivery

« on: August 29, 2011, 02:44:11 PM »

I need a 12' paddleboard delivered from Seattle to Southern California and I'm hoping some area paddlers are making the trip to the Round the Rock on Sept 10th and will have room for an extra board.  Board can be dropped off at the race site and I'm in Dana Point but I can pick up anywhere between LA and SD.  I'll gladly chip in some $$ to help with your trip expenses.  Please reply by pm.  Thanks!
