How are you going to lug 3 boards around every time you go away for the weekend?

Board racks

have had 5 sups on at one time.

Here's my attempt at carting around my itch medicine, last weekend:



I didn't have to worry about locking up the unused ones while I was out in the surf - because my lovely family decided to join me. Another good reason to sratch that itch - more joy to share around!

You realy are a board whore.

During a road trip I lose the will to live if I've got to dick around with too much gear to get at the toys I want. There's nothing worse than spending a half an hour at each end stacking and re-stacking and rooting around trying to find bits and pieces.

I'm musing on the idea of using making a vertical bar to carry the SUP on it's side so it will fit on the roof rack along with the rooftop box. The 23" wide longboard used to make quite a nice sun shade sticking out the side but 30" of SUP would be ridiculous and a navigation hazard.

Haha security for sure, shes just ordered another one Im working 2 jobs to pay for the thing its costing more than 2 9 6" psh or naishs Good security though having 3 of theses bad boys

What 'model' of security system is that, thing?

Maybe it's the surf, but it looks like he is towing a bucket

Jeez.. someone gave those boards a good whack with the ugly stick.. (imo) ..

3 of the big f888ers,brooko they could sit on a villain and drown him in slobber,btw i love em,my mates got a blue called "tito"friendliest beastie ever

The deck looks huge, like you're a foot above sea level or something. I dont know how good those surfers are but even the little girl looks wobbly on them

one minute of watching that was a wasted minute.my dc 8 10 would #### all over them even with me on it.throw them in the bin

Respectfully Hypr,
Kids dont need features like "bat tails" or any extra pointy bits to cause injury.
Kids on a 7' board only need 3" to 4" max thickness, any more the board becomes too corky. Short boards are actualy more stable with the tail half submeged when they are paddled, it dampens the roll & lowers C of G.
Try a board with much flatter rocker, 4" or so, & a tail with a generous spiral V. Gives more drive, particularly with an appropriate size fin.
Heaver riders 90kg or so, are still ok with 4" thickness & 31" x 8' flater decks give more confidence to run around on.

Loco, He is a Neapoilitan Mastiff all 95kgs of him.

Hey Firstpoint I reckon I have heard of Tito, do they show him? Our big boy is Mossimo If they are into the breed they would have heard of him.

Greeno, you hit the nail on the head. Wonder if it was the riders, the waves or the boards that was the problem?

Fair call Oliver, with out going over the same ol long versus short crap, hard to say whether any board would of been ideal in these conditions, I am shaping a new short sup, 7'6 x 30 x 4, I am calling it the 'Oliver' cos I know how much you love short boards with the dimensions splashed all over the forum

I was thinking it would make a great first board for someone around 110kg, be great for choppy conditions. I hadn't thought about the go-pro, as I am only 32, full head of hair and built like an adonis I guess I won't be needing it
