They are not wheels, they are round rubber grips.

Good pix of the groms! Looks like everyone is having a ball!

I don't mind the kids street SUPing but I'm not a bid fan of it. Kinda like skooters!
Longboards (skateboards) are super popular at the moment but without the stick.

Dogman, if your reading...have you had a shot?
How's it compare to the real thing? (skatebaording)

Great to see they have a Adjustable stick Phil , how much are they mate?

I'm looking at getting the kids one .

Any real differance in the stick with the wheels and without ?

Great pics Phill. I must try it.

First we had surfboards with paddles not skateboards with poles, what next

Skateboarding is skateboarding even if you are holding onto a stick

how does this compare to actual water sup'ing? some have mentioned it being a good cross training device? is it using the same muscles?

Yeah more or less, though I think Street SUP is more of a pushing motion past your feet which is something you don't want to be doing in the water.

Hey Paul, you could also try putting it up on ASRA if you don't get any bites here?

(almost warmed up after this morning!)

Thanks Stu, I'll do that.

Just as an aside, I was riding home from work the other night and a guy was going the other way on a street SUP.

He was easily keeping up with the bikes so he was cruising on about 18-20 kph.

Presumably with the extra reach you can keep pumping (sticking? poling? paddling?) at a speed that would be too high to skate along with your foot.

The only problem was he kept flicking his sticking over into the other lane which made me nervous, and made it hard for the behind him to get past. He did have bikes in front and he was keeping pace with them.

You should! Any of our retailers would be happy to give you a demo. Visit www.streetsup.com.au for your nearest store.

Street SUP is a great upper body workout. It uses major muscles in the upper body, arms & legs in particular the chest, shoulders, back, abdominals & obliques, as well as triceps, biceps, thighs, hamstrings & glutes.

Look out for the Big Stick fitness review in the next issue of KITE/SUP Mag.

If cross training for water SUP we would recommend the Bamboo Big Sticks -they offer maximum flexibility & mimics paddling in the water.

How does the adjustable stick compare to the other sticks

Is this stick available in Perth?

The Adjustable is very similar weight to the bambo IMO

Flex is good not too stiff, I has a good feel to it.

The best thing is so easy to store or travel with.

Adjustable means the whole family can use it if they want to, Nesh, Niki, Kristi or I can all use it

Phill

Your about my height Phil ,you don't fine it a wee bit short as I believe it has to be a bit longer in lenght .

second best thing i have bought since my first sup. Realised my motor wasnt that great but this thing has helped. The boys at roar know the diff in me. dropped nearly 15 kg in 5 months between the h2o and the street. Can get some crazy carves going down hills can really push those turns super hard. Might look strange but i dont care. Was for fitness first, but those big hills are so sweet with the stick. Junkies in southport hate me and the big stick no more asking me for coin.
