SUP Fishing for Reds

No Waves.. Go Fishing....Caught several Red Drum and one Trout.. Lost two large reds. They peeled of line and screamed my reel. I couldn't stop them when they took off thru the poles.. Great afternoon fishing off the SUP... Sorry all fish I catch go back in the water.. Catch and Release Program for me..

2013 Starboard ASAP 's

Soft Top with Hard Bottom Technology:

AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE 
Single Wood stringers introduced overall stiffness. Wood half-­deck provides extra impact resistance on the deck. Extra strong bottom glass composite material provides longevity and low maintenance. Full EVA deck for a soft, comfortable touch. The EVA is grooved in the most important areas.
High density EVA around the rails for increased impact resistance. This high density EVA has been further toughened through a thermoform process which increases the surface density. The Soft sponge tail bumper further increases safety aspects. The US center fin box and FCS compatible side fin option makes the ASAP offering an absolute value winner.
  • The 12’0″x33″ is best suited for all around cruising and touring.
  • The 11’2″ x 30″ is the ul2mate flat water to wave cross-­‐over.
  • The 10’0″x34″ is best suited for all around paddling and wave riding.
  • The 9’0″x 30″ will get you out ripping in the waves.
  • The 7’7″ x 26.5″ will get your kids into the waves or you into surfing.

Key Selling Points:

  • Extra strong bottom laminate
  • Full size deck pad
  • Thermoformed rails and tail bumper for safety
  • Same great service and warranty
  • Best value

Jesse Cadman paddles to Tybee Island from Hilton Head

Jesse, Seppi and I, decided to go for a morning paddle over to Daufuskie Island crossing Calibogue Sound paralleling  Daufuskie. As we approached the Melrose area behind the sand bars mid Daufuskie way out front, Jesse sees the Tybee Island Lighthouse and puts his head down and paddles toward Georga. Seppi and I were checking out the sand bar as Jesse puts distance between us. Knowing I will not catch up, I paddle back to Harbour Town and hop in the center console heading over to Tybee looking for Jesse lending support for his crossing. I found him close to Tybee Roads in front of the Jetty  as a huge freighter crosses his path sending large swells from its wake..  He crossed the Savannah Channel among  turbulent currents and moving tide heading towards the lighthouse. I wait for him just outside the shallows as he completes the journey. A  Light House to Light House Paddle.. He paddled 12 plus miles navigating  the bars, shoals and currents.   
Below is Jesse's  quote and a his photos from today.. A well deserved Beer, or Two

''Paddled this morning from the Harbour Town Lighthouse (Hilton Head Island, SC) to the Tybee Lighthouse (Tybee Island, GA). Time for a cold beer''  : )

Wide Point working in the 2 ft surf..

Fun glassy 2ft surf today. Starboard's 8-10 Wide Point Brushed Carbon works great in the small weak surf. Playing with small fins so I'm able to release the tail at times but still holds drive thru the bottom turn thrusting down the line.. Fun Fun fun

Morning at St Augustine Glassy and Perfect


What a great morning ..  3-4 ft glassy waves. Surfed a spot called Mary's st. access ramp. 100 yard long lefts. Sets broke way outside and peeled trru the inside. Met Cooper Neil and surfed with him yesterday and today..  The 8-10 Wide Point BC was a magic sled..  I put smaller side bites and woke up the board.. Loved it..Pole Cam with the GoPro   .... 





 Here is 'Coop' on one of the sets ....

View from the car park ... Waves still breaking after 12:30  pm

St. Augustine Birthday Waves....

I know it maybe selfish to be in St. Augustine catching some really clean 3-4 ft waves but celebrating   my Birthday surfing is a must and annual tradition in my life... I do miss my friends and wish they were with me..  but they are always in my heart. ..MISSED YOU GUYS... The waves were super clean and when the sets came in, being on the stand up allowed me to catch the walls way outside and carve and S turn all the way thru the inside watching the wave set up for a speed runs and turned on the lip.... 


 I had seen a Shrimp Boat passing bye so I had to get a pic of that behind me.. . Again another tradition on my birthday doing Stand Up.. I have pics of me SUP'n on waves with a Shrimp Trawler in the background..  the last  five years.




 It takes a special person  to walk on water... 

8:30 am as tide starts filling in. PERFECT..

 Speed Blurrrrrrr...
 Rebound of the close out..

Fun Waist high Surf, w/ the Paddle Cam

Today we had some smaller sets from TS Leslie . Seemed smaller today but less wind. Long wait between the few sets.. I clamped the GoPro on the paddle and snagged a few waves. A different perspective than the nose of the board. Was a lot easier to manipulate the camera as waves came in.  
Down to Floride for a few days. Hitting St.Augustine for a day or so then Surf Expo to see the Starboard/ SUPreme line. See y'all later . Have fun with the waves here I'll be down there surfing' it up 
  MAHALO  

 I remember this on, I buried the outside rail and ate it.. too..

 Dragging the camera along the back of the wave  


8-10 WP Brushed Carbon , Worked good , Still have the tweak the fin set up some..
