Ok so for a few months now have um'd and ar'd about a SUP to complement me in the surf and have really decided id like a Whopper BUT.
My major dilemma is SUP in general, What i mean is i want a board to use when i get to the surf and its flat (like now) i want to rip it out and use instead of surfing. But if its good surf then what do i do with the SUP? I cant leave it on the roof in the car park can i?
Also what then when i get to work or take it over to Rotto on the boat? If it can't left in the sun how does everyone get around that?
So my last two questions.
Is a SLick Whopper better suited to a sun light and b less likely to be stolen as its only a cheapy?
And or should i really just go with a Whopper inflatable and if i do will i regret it in the water so much that i won't ever pull it out of the bag?
Questions questions
since getting into sup i have almost retired my short boards. I think with a good sup youll find it soon becomes your board of choice as opposed to an occasional option. As for travelling and protecting them, i find i can squeeze mine into a landcruiser and lock it up, otherwise you can get locking roofracks. A good well insulated and reflective board cover will also protect your board in direct sunlight. I take my fanatic allwave to work every day sticking out the back of my cruiser and try and sneak a surf in during the day. In its thick protective and ventilated board bag i have had no trouble with the board at all. as for the slicks, they delaminate just as quickly as anything else in the heat.
If your board is going to be exposed to heat, its probably a good idea to get a SUP with a vent plug. (This will stop the board expanding in the heat, then contracting when its cool, which can shorten the lifespan of the board). Just don't forget to put the plug back in before you go in the water!
