Wow! Not just one trip up into the Sierras, but TWO trips. And a second nice set of still pictures. I took a nice look long at those pictures looking for some details and one particular did.

The one showing the quad +1 fin setup on top of the other sups caught my eye. I'm "guessing", from looking at the photo, the five fins in size were: (2, 5"), (2, 4") and (1, 2.25" stubnub). Might have been the one Deb was paddling.

Thanks for sharing the photos.  8) Those photos for me are "eye candy".  ;)

Adding a stubnub to a quad does not make it a quad +1.

To be a quad +1, the center fin would have to be considerably larger than the other four.

Calling it a five fin set up would also be misleading.

The board in the photo is simply a quad +nub.

Aloha Rick,
YIKES!!! That looks freakin' frigid...

Ironically, your feet were probably warmer than mine before I put booties on...
Felt like an ice cream headache in my toes when I paddled barefoot...the river temp gauge varied from 40* F - 42* F...pure snow melt water...
I think that it could have taken your breath away if you fell in...it helped that air temps were at 78* F, so the sand heated up nicely...

Aloha NW,
All of the boards that we paddled there had a quad +1 fin setup option...the two Stokes that Deb and Janine paddled were running 4"/5" quad + 2.25" StubNub...

Nice pics above.

Missing the sun. A few pics from this summer on a day trip up the Kootenay river to the confluence of the Slocan River.

Aloha robon,
That is some gorgeous water on the Kootenay...

I just put this clip together from our latest trip up to the Kern River...this stretch is pretty docile...but, the Kern River is world famous for it's class IV, V, and V+ whitewater runs...



In fact, it's home to Rebecca Giddens, who won the SUP event at the 2015 Payette River Games in Idaho on the women's side...while, Mo Freitas won the men's event using my One World model...

Rebecca was a 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist in Athens, 2002 World Champion...and, many time National Champion and U.S. Team Member...her and her husband also own and operate Kern River Brewing Company...always good for an aprés SUP party...;-)

@ WarDog

Enjoyed your Kern River Valley sup video. Beautiful place to paddle. And I noticed the 5 fin setup for your paddling session on the river.

When I receive my One World, I'm first going to take her for a flat water paddling session with a one large single fin. Then head on back to my launching point, replace the single fin with a 5 fin setup and take it for a second paddling session. This will give me some info comparison wise for the two fin setups.

BTW, thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it here on the Zone.

Aloha NW,
Here's a vid clip with drone footage and several other POV angles of standup paddling on Lake Isabella this past December week...all of the boards are between 7'11" & 10'...

Gracias...it's something that I enjoy doing when I have some spare time...
I actually started editing and streaming original video content on the internet back in the 90's...then along came You Tube...;-)

In addition to these last couple of vid clips...I have over 150 other vid clips on my You Tube channel...

Loved the 360 degree panoramic view of the lake. Gorgeous weather combine with a calm, flat like glass water condition.

From looking at the sups on the ground in the video, it appears to be: 1 Hammer, 2 Stokes and 1 Mahalo Shaka. Looks like Deb paddled both a Stoke and the Mahalo Shaka. Since I'm the curious type, if you don't mind, could you ask Deb which one of the two sup models she preferred when paddling Lake Isabela?

Thanks for providing another "eye candy" video.  :)

New to the forum, and relatively new to SUP’ing, but loving it so far. We bought basic inflatable boards for our starter set, so far so good.

Thanks! We were in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The inflatable boards are perfect for traveling. The rentals were $25 per hour, and that didn’t make sense to us.
