Surfboards

Brand: Craig Surfboards
Model: 8'6" SUP
Size: 8'6"
Year: 2009

A shorter stand-up paddle surfboard, allowing more maneuverability while still being fairly stable. With the combination of rocker and rails of this model, radical moves (like helipcopters and the link) are made much easier, taking the surfer's ride to a new level.

Squirrely But Really Fun, Wednesday, 03 June 2009

PROS. Like it's the case with many -- if not all -- of these shorter SUP's, the board is fairly squirrely but a whole lot of fun. It's highly maneuverable and yet incredibly stable; it makes helicopters a piece of cake; and depending on the fin setup, the tail is prone to sliding when applying too much leverage, which makes it much easier to pull off 360's.

CONS. On the down side, the board does not drive down the line on the slower sections, but rather it tends to stall while the wave is peeling away, a problem which (I think) is probably inherent with these shorter SUP's. (If the wave is fast, though, the board will fly down the line.) But if you're riding powerful surf (like quick, hollow sections) this board will work much better than some of its longer counterparts, since it will better fit the wave.
