Question from chrisb

Please explain why it is beneficial to kneel instead of standing when paddling.

Fair question:

Here is the list as I see it.
  • You can surf on a smaller board;
  • You can go out in choppier water; and
  • You can paddle stronger.

125 litre Pendleboard

This inflatable SUP has a rigid tail. The sailboard rig connection is an option - that I am interested in.

Some foil success

Today (May 6, 2018) I caught two waves where I took off kneeling up; got to my feet before the board went up on the foil and rode the wave mostly on the foil. The difference was that I was surfing with a bloke riding a SUP (5'9" 90 something litres). A case of money see monkey do. Anyway, this activity is too fashionable for this blog, so I have posted to: supwindfoil.net Page to view: supwindfoil.blogspot.com/2018/05/monkey-does

Waist leash and SUP

 I have broken two of those curly waist leash cords. Here is a solution that I am trying. Note the addition of another of those heavy Velcro end bits to keep the curly bit of cord away from the back of the front fins.
