I want to share my love for stand-up paddleboarding with the world. On this channel you will find videos on tips for beginners as well as videos where I explore SUPing destinations. Don't forget to check out my website FITFUNSUP.com
Do you find it tippy compared to most boards?I have two, and I found myself nervous that I would fall over. I have never used another paddleboarded before so I have nothing to compare it to.
I was shopping for a paddle online and saw some reviews saying their fins didnt fit their paddle It got me curious as to why swiming without a fin is so bad lol
FWIW - I paddle SUP without a fin on rivers regularly. Fancy canoe technique that can take years to master is required … but you can indeed paddle a SUP finless in a straight line … just more slowly. Using the powerface rather than the back of the blade also helps :-)
The board is holding up well. It is not my " everyday" board. I only use it for surfing small waves and paddling in the river. It got a slash from an oyster shell that I patched and is holding (14 months). But that's why I don't use it for island hopping around here. I did replace the paddle because it was pretty low quality. Thanks for watching
As a 63 year old I tried my first ever SUP today. It was good fun but I have to admit, it's harder than in looks. I think the fear of falling off is a problem, once you've fallen a couple of times, that dear goes and the whole experience gets easier. Regards from the UK
No need to apologize. You are absolutely correct. In my intro, y'all will notice the wrong way to hold the paddle. If you think of the paddle like a spoon, you want to use the back of it. In my intro I am using the scoop side of the "spoon." Good catch Pete...and fun start to your channel.
Hi, that was a great video. Now, I just saw that you posted this a year ago, do you still recommend it? I have a hard board SIC 12.6 but I’m looking for an ISUP for short paddles before work.
Hi, I love this board for its ease of transport and its lightweight. What I don't like is that I have punctured it on oyster shells. (Other than those it has been super tough) . It is less stable than my hard board, but if you have experience, it should be fine. For $300 its a good deal and I have bought 2 more since my video (kids) and the one I punctured was/is still holding with the provided repair kit. I don't use them to land on islands any more because of the puncture. I do use them in the surf with no problems hitting the beach and broken small shells Lastly, I would have a hard time trusting it, myself and my abilities in water cold enough that I would have to end a paddle if I fell in. Around here that would be for about 4 months with 50 degree water temps.
Ankle strap is a must. Especially in windy conditions that board will blown be out of range in no time and you might find yourself in trouble. I’d also recommend a PFD.
thank you for video. What is your weight? Sorry to asking, actually pump does not show pressure ( may be it is broken or smth) that way i need to understand how firm SUP should be. Does the board suits 110 kg man's weight?
Hi. At the time of video I was 220 pounds. (100 kg). The first time I pumped up my board, I had to keep pumping long after I felt it was ready. When you stand on it on land there should be no give at all. If you can find a pressure gage, use a minimum of 12 psi.
Hi James. The pressure Guage on my pump started increasing at 0 (right from the start)and increased rapidly to around 8psi then slowed for the final 4psi. I stopped at 12psi. Thanks for watching! I had to pump a lot more after I thought it was solid.
Спасибо за видео, заказала себе доску того же производителя. Но очень мало информации по ним. Было интересно посмотреть ваше видео!) Расскажите пжта как она в эксплуатации себя ведёт . Через сезон например.
Thanks for watching Elenovna Elena. I have used the board for almost a whole year now. It is less stable than my hard SUP, but not by much. But I do use my hard board in the winter when I want the most stability. This board is so easy to transport that I take it with me on any trip where I may be near water. I also use it when I surf because it is softer and I feel safer surfing around other people. I did replace the paddle because the one that came with the board was not very good. I hope you enjoy your board!
Thanks for review. We bought one too What a great paddleboard funwater. We made video for you on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-soFYIEmYwjo.html
Did you get anymore time out on the water with it? Any issues come up with it yet? Looking at maybe getting this exact model for my girlfriend and I for travel boards (we currently have hard boards, but want inflatables to travel easier with.)
So sorry it took me so long to respond. I have had the board out, quite a lot actually. I can tell a difference in stability compared to my hard board, but not much. The paddle stinks. I replaced it with an inexpensive Bic. I also had to patch it because I ran it up on some oyster shells, but the patch is holding. Thanks for watching!
