Sell one to buy one. The others are just going to collect dust.

The process:
[1] fill your car/van/trailer with as much SUPs as you can
[2] rethink your setup to put even more SUPs in it
[3] upgrade your car/van size

... repeat from [1] :-)

Ordered mine today finally!  Went with the Corran "Retro," formerly known as Timsup,  in 7'5" x29" x4.3" at 106 L. I'm sure it's going to seem massive after paddling the Mach 1, but I'm stoked to get on it.

After trying a bunch of Simmons type boards I decided to stick with Corran for two main reasons: 1) the rails on the Timsup had more bite than the other ones I tried and that suits my surfing just fine. 2) I've ridden a few of his boards, they all rode amazing and I trust his shapes. I sent him roughly what I thought I'd want and he came back 30 minutes later with a couple tweaks and now we're of and running. Man I can't wait!

Kneecap,

Because the "Retro" is such a GAY (not that there is anything wrong with it) name... whenever I say the name to Corran, I call it the f'ing retro (using the whole word of course).  I figure that if I say it enough, he will change the name back to the TimSUP... be sure to let him know that it is properly known as the f'ing Retro (suing either the whole word, of the letter and an "ing" as you feel appropriate).

I was thinking about the name. I like "moped." Doesn't look all that special but it's sure fun to ride.

It's called the Timsup on my invoice from Corran!

Here's my take on this style of board. Gonna get it in the water tomorrow.

I've seen dudes out at the reef on their Kings SimSups, and they're all rather big looking. Guy today was on his maiden voyage, 8'4"x30" (don't know the width). He's about 180 lbs (tall, though) but the board just looked unnecessarily large. I thought the point was to go short with these things?

JeanG

The Kings demo Simsups are all under 8', IIRC.

Some people demand them bigger because they don't realize how stable these are relative to their existing board (people like me).

VonR

Cardiff,

8'4" x 30" seems really big. You gain a lot of volume with the wide tail.
Aloha,
Jeff
