Stand Up Paddle Boarding In North Shore Kauai

NIXY Landing Mat Review

Anyone who owns an inflatable SUP knows how difficult it can be to keep the board clean while rolling it up after use and storing it inside the backpack. I always bring an old towel along with me to dry the board as I roll it up. However the board usually still collects dirt, sand, […]

Thurso Surf Waterwalker 120 Inflatable SUP In-Depth Review

Sea Eagle SUPCat10 Inflatable Fishing Stand Up Paddle Board In-Depth Review

I review a lot of different paddle boards and rarely anymore does a product really blow my mind. However the SUPCat10 kind of did.
