Gear Talk / Carbon+ air vent
« on: June 20, 2012, 11:29:44 AM »
Please help!

Today I've been out on my new Fanatic Fly Race 14' Carbon. It was about 20-25°C (68-77°F). The board got rather hot when I was out of the water for a while (underside up)
Should I unscrew the airvent everytime I get out of the water??? It is not a hollow board. I have written a mail to Fanatic but they haven't replied yet so here I am at the zone again  :)

Gear Talk / No Bark 14'
« on: May 11, 2012, 07:30:02 AM »
Wrote an email to the place that sells Surftech here in Sweden asking for the price of a Surftech Bark Dominator. They replied. "Hello Henrik, we won't import any Dominators this year. They're a bit too long"    ???

Gear Talk / Pintail or not?
« on: April 26, 2012, 11:46:07 AM »
Hello!
I am looking for the right 14' board. Where I paddle most of the time I've com to the conclusion that I need a piercing bow. ( I think that is the word for it) Not the front end of a Bark Dominator or a Hovie Comet. I have to go through the chop as with a Naish Catalina or similar.

But what about the rear? The tail? For flatwater and chop, what is the most efficient? Fastest? I weigh just under 169 lbs. Please help!

Random / OluKai sandals?
« on: April 17, 2012, 07:43:09 AM »
Hello!
I wonder if some one out there have any experience of OluKai sandals (leather)? I am thinking of buying a pair but cannot afford to go wrong because I have to order them from the USA. What about quality, sizes (large or small), nice to wear etc...?

I am thinking about something like in the link below

Gear Talk / S. Bark Competitor vs Naish Javelin???
« on: January 21, 2012, 04:41:50 AM »
Aloha! Is there anyone who has tried and compared the Surftech Bark Competitor 12'6 and the Naish Javelin Carbon 12'6 2012? I paddle in flatwater and small choppy irritating waves. Waves that are approximately ancle to knee high and about 2-4 feet between them. Always in the same direction as the wind.

I have a Competitor but it is always interesting with new stuff. :)

Gear Talk / Fin storage?
« on: December 18, 2011, 02:50:30 AM »
Hello!
I have some fins but I don't have any clever way of storing in them in the car or anywhere else. How do you store you're fins? I tired of wrapping them in my towel and such. Please help!

Gear Talk / Laird Race 12'6"???
« on: November 19, 2011, 04:54:10 AM »
I wonder if any of you guys have seen/tested the new Surftech Laird Race 12'6" Pro Elite? Is it better than the Surftech Bark Competitor? Maybe it's not released yet?

Gear Talk / Repair!?
« on: October 16, 2011, 02:32:43 AM »
Hello!
I'm not quite sure this is the right forum but I'll have a go anyway.
Please help me out!

I've got som damages to my Surftech Bark Competitor Tuflite. (Transport :'( ) It is just some minor stuff but maybe it'll get worse if I don't do anything about it. What do I do? Just fill the tiny hole (2-3 millimeters) with some epoxy?

Gear Talk / Kings vs Hovie Comet vs Surftech Bark Competitor?
« on: September 25, 2011, 02:13:57 AM »
Hello!
I've seen some pictures of a Kings Paddle sports 12'6" Carbon Race board and a Hovie Comet 12'6". How are they compared to a Surftech Bark Competitor 12'6" which I've got? I like the Competitor but I'm just curious about the others.

If anyone knows something about the others, please let me know!

Gear Talk / Happy with my Ninja SUP Race fin!!!
« on: September 17, 2011, 12:12:08 AM »
Just wanted to tell you that a couple of weeks ago I got my Ninja SUP Race fin made by Larry Allison. I'm using it on a Surftech Bark Competitor. The fin was a great improvement and I can do alot more strokes per side than before. It's excellent

Beautiful morning here on Öland, Sweden by the way :)

Gear Talk / Ninja SUP Race Fin
« on: August 27, 2011, 07:07:05 AM »
Hello!
Is there anyone who's got any experience of a Ninja SUP Race fin? (Larry Allison) I'm thinking of buying one. I've got a Surtech Bark Competitor and mostly paddle on flatwater and choppy waves. Will the board be a bit faster and is it maybe possible to do some more strokes per side before changing?

Cheers

Technique / Against the wind?
« on: August 27, 2011, 06:58:31 AM »
Hello!
I was out paddling today and it was almost as usual. Perhaps a bit more windy than what I'm used to but the wind came from the shore and the waves weren't higher than up to my knee. Very choppy though.
When paddling with the wind in my back it was a walk in the park. Fast and fun. But after paddling 2.5kilometers I turned and got the waves and the wind in my face.
That was the hardest 2.5 kilometers workout on my Surftech Bark Competitor ever.

I had no idea that the wind was so hard to fight. If I didn't paddle I went backwards.

To my question: Did I do anything wrong? In that case, suggestions and solutions?

PLEASE help me if there are any tricks! I will paddle more and train more but besides that?

Gear Talk / Water rucksack?
« on: August 09, 2011, 06:56:41 AM »
Hello! I need information about something to carry water in when paddling. I've seen pictures of people having some sort of rucksack containing water. If anyone of you know any brands that make good ones, then I can surf around to find the things in Sweden.

Thanks!

Gear Talk / Dakine leash?
« on: June 19, 2011, 12:37:09 AM »
Hello!
Is a Dakine SUP leash 10' coil a good thing to buy for flat and choppy water? (Going on either my Bark Competitor or 404 10'6")

Many thanks
