Do all boards have reinforced fin boxes? If not which ones do and does it make much of a difference?

Are there different styles of reinforced fin boxes?

Thanks.

SUP General / What are you looking for in a SUP Club?

« on: December 06, 2012, 08:12:22 AM »

Hi zoners,

I'm looking to build the stoke for SUP in my area by starting a SUP club in my home city and am looking for some advice. Have any of you started a club or are you members of a club in your city?

What are you looking for in a SUP club? What's important to you? Do you want merchandise to show your relationship to a club? Do you want regularly scheduled outings? Do you want a variety of activities (ie. Flat water, river running, races, yoga etc..).

Are there any major roadblocks you have experienced that I should be aware of (ie. insurance etc...)?

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks and ride hard!

Canadian Prairies / SUP Club in Calgary

« on: December 01, 2012, 01:44:49 PM »

Hi all,

Easy Rider has done an incredible job growing the SUP culture up in Edmonton and I would like to try to model his work in Calgary. I am considering starting up a SUP club to organize trips down the bow river and into the Kananaskis lakes starting in the spring.

Are there any zoners from Calgary that have similar interests? If so what would you like to see in a local SUP club?

Thanks in advance.

Gear Talk / Best Construction for SUP Durability

« on: November 29, 2012, 08:11:37 AM »

Hi all,

I'm new to the site and was hoping this might be a good source of information for me. I'm currently learning about all different types of boards and finding out that almost all look great but no all are well constructed.

Can someone help give me a sense of the 1 or 2 best styles of construction for quality and value in a board? What's best? Sandwich construction, Bamboo technology, plastic, other?

Thanks!
