I personally like Coreban. Reason being they are up-front with their designs and give a little video of what the rocker and everything is all about. Plus they are a realistic price. Other company's, all you see is a front on pic of the board and extravagant prices (im talking internet here). Except for the pop out cheap brands, which I know nothing about.

I dont like starboard as they all seem to thick and wide. Also dont like Naish as they look like banana's. Psh also, as they seem up themselves (although I would like to try one)

Only interested, as people seem dedicated to a brand. Just wondering why?

Here's one to get the party started... Hahahah.

I like surfing brands not windsurfing.

SUP surf boards that surf well are much closer relatives to surfboards. In fact many great designs are just blown up short board fishes. They are not sailboards without masts.

Own PSH, JL and DC. Very impressed by SIC and fanatic look good. The custom surf shapers over east look nice too, wish we had them here. Lots of good brands out there.

The duds seem to be the cheap pop outs at large stores.

i haven't seen _____________________ come out with a decent board yet. and ____________________, don't make laugh. speaking of bad boards, _________________ would know a good board if they fell over one. and _________________ are just the pits. ______________ don't give a dam as long as they make a buck.

there, that's my no holding back opinions


disc completely based on lies and deception and illusions and well, i'm way to gutless to mention any real names

I also like the windsurfing brands because they're used to making big boards around the same size as sup's and often have much better cconstruction and technology than most surfboard companies.

AND without the likes of companies like Naish and Starboard stand up paddling wouldnt be half the sport it is today - redthumb your butts off , but its a fact whether you like it or not.

It was also a statement,and unless you have riden every board a brand has to offer dont think you should write off an entire brand on apperances.
Although Naish are butt ugly

It isn't the board that might make the brand ugly.... It is the physique and looks of the engine on top. With that said..... gee my Naish boards look good

This is an interesting question because there are quite a few large manufactures with several designs each on offer not to mention the smaller guys that can do customs.But if you look closely there arn't all that many boadrs in manufacturers lines that would be concidered the same,infact they are all very different.So rather than ask what brands do you like or dislike I would ask what brand suits you.We are all different in height,shape and weight and ability too,so...I think that I will always have an open mind and one day I may find the holy grail....Until then Ill just winge about my fins being all wrong or my paddle being to long or my legrope or sompthing.

I like brands (production or custom) that come up steadily with new, interesting, weird, extreme designs (and construction techniques) to push the enveloppe, not (only) in the sense of ultra-competitive toothpicks for young athletes, but designs with mind-opening caracteristics for every level, ages, genders, and locations.

Down with copycats!

As for specific names... just let's avoid flame wars...
