SUP build - Shine
Re: SUP build - Shine
I am an admitted windsurfing snob but IMHO, sans centerboard, you will never be able to drive that board upwind without a large, high aspect fin and plenty of power (speed).

put a couple strips of kiwigrip on this one, looks pretty good. I used a west system short foam nap roller cover and the resulting texture should not be too rough on the knees or chest.

Re: SUP build - Shine
Wasn't thinking of sailing sitting down. Was thinking more like resting the knees after some standup paddling or poling, while fishing, and having that *box* for some light stowage.

Ken, Stickystuff, used to be a dealer for a board like that. He brought one to the Crystal River meet 4 or 5 years ago. Ask him how it worked out

Re: SUP build - Shine
These will be lighter than Flatstalkers. Flatstalkers weighed in at 115# with consoles. They had a special made heavy duty two ended paddle which could be used for push pole as well as paddling.Neat concept but a real bitch to paddle against a current. My trolling motor went up in smoke and I had to paddle back to the ramp on an outgoing tide. Had a blister on my thumb that took a month to heal.
