Channel crossing anyone?

http://www.supracer.com/worlds-longest-sup-board/   I ran across this the other day and wondered how it would handle one of our channel crossings.

That thing is just wrong !!!!!

That would look awesome on DJ's little black zook

I pity the shaper. Can you say Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

[808sup]

Can't help but wonder what kind of rocker/ layup it has. How much it weights as well. Will it fit on my mini cooper? etc. Any shapers want to take a stab at it?

That thing would stick out about 7 feet in front and back of my TUNDRA !!  DAM .. wonder how it paddles?

Well for downwinding I'd guess you'd be getting high centered quite often.  It's bad enough on a 17' Bullet in short frequency... like Kihei.  This pic that Jeremy took s a great example of that.

Actually Randy is on a 16 in that pic.

I sure liked your 14'6" for the Kihei run, Headmount.

[808sup]

Yes, those kihei runs are prone to that since the intervals are so short. It definitely makes you adjust your trim to suit the conditions. A shorter board lets you surf them from the tail. So fun!!!

Nice 12'6" bullet might be the ticket ??

short period is most of the stuff we have to play with here on the big island, it's a lot of walking back and forth on the 17'ers
