![]() I was pleased to use a Dave Kalama line: "It's the sneakers". Another simply magical board.Ī shortboard surfer complimented me yesterday (!!) saying "man you really rip it up on that huge board". ![]() It's once again proven to be one of the best and easiest boards to SUP surf. I brought my thoroughly mauled Foote 10'4" with me and I've been using it lately in the weird surf SoCal is having. Big foil boards are the answer for me, big meaning 6'4" X 32". Like a fat guy dancing: By the time I wallow to my feet the song is over. I gave up on smaller boards when my creaky knee (much better since I lost 20 or 30 pounds) meant I need to stand for entire sessions.

I have two boards that I love, and future boards will all be around the same. Longer, drawn-out carving turns, floaters, and surfing that has more flow in it than skate tricks. Being able to stand around and see the outside, regardless of how bad the conditions are instead of sitting around and popping up when a wave shows. So I settled on more of what SUP feels like it's about to me. ![]() Spending more time in the water than out of it when it gets some heavy movement, and just all around not having a very good time. Small boards were great in that they start to get back to that "shortboard-ish" feel.įound that I'm just not into the knee-wrecking snaps anymore, and wondering what I'm doing paddling around digging myself out of a hole the whole time. Started on the surf stuff three years ago at 10'x32"x160L, and ended up down at 8'x28'100L. I'll just add my ¥2 about my journey with size.
