I have a 2018 Black fish 14x27, love the board. Pretty sure its marketed as a kinda do everything board, flat water, open ocean. in and out of surf. I ams 5'11 200 lbs and the board is fine for my size. The cool thing about infinity is that you can call Dave and tell him what you want and they can custom build it for you. Check out this review from a bigger paddler.....good luck

The sightings were well publicized the last few years. Haven't hear of any this year yet, but the long stormy winter hasn't produce many favorable beach days. I don't think the sharks like our toxic runoff any more than we do. It's cleaning up now. Get out there and surf! Buy that new board and tell us about it.   

LOL thats what i wanna here;).... going to demo the wide aquatic sat or Sunday, 10'4 x 32, seems really big but i am a newbie. Was in  the shop Monday talking to Dave and he said this would be a good starting point for me as a newbie to stand up paddle surfing, just seems like a lil bit of a BIG board

The 'fear of' is what thins the potential crowds. Jaws came out when I was about 11 years old. I was surfing and boogie boarding almost daily with my friends. It freaked us all out pretty bad. We turned to mostly skateboarding. It took a while to get it out of my head. It didn't help that my cousin who lived with us was bit by a shark surfing in Mexico right around that same time. It just made it more real. My kids grew up swimming and in the surf, but the recent frequent shark sightings at the beach right by our house has curb any interest to surf or even go to the beach with me. 

Probably a Tiger shark. My cousin lost part of his hand to a Tiger shark. They are unpredictable, as if any shark is

Really I haven't heard of any sightings, where and when.......this might just deter me from buying a new wide aquatic.

I have a 88 hydro and I love it. I switched from QB to black project 2 years a go, and I am not going back. My 9 year old daughter has a 71 hydro with a slim shaft and it is an amazing paddle. the new texcarbon shafts are great. I highly recommend picking up a paddle and a fin front them.

Thats the one I am looking at, glad you like it.

Gear Talk / Straight vs Bent shaft paddles

« on: May 04, 2019, 06:50:39 PM »

Anybody have any pros or cons vs either one?. I us a straight shat paddle but was at baby beach demoing some Werner bents, and the guy was really pushing them for better alignment and since I've had shoulder surgery says would be better for my shoulder imo felt a little weird to me......... thoughts.

SUP General / Feet Cramps

« on: April 10, 2019, 06:48:39 PM »

Anybody else have a problem with feet cramps to the point of almost going numb, maybe it just takes time to get the muscles in my feet to adapt but damn the first paddle around the harbor becomes a bitch, then after standing for a while second paddle around is all good. Any good stretches to do?
