Hello,

Just discover Street >SUP, I love it!

Any recommandation about the best board for sup??

Only for use on flat road.

- It's better to use a flex longboard or rigid longboard?
- It's better with large wheels or narrow wheels?
- very long longboard or standard longboard?
- wich bearings you recommend me ?

Thanks
Jonpi

A good starting point would be;
1) Flex Deck, smooths the ride
2) Medium Length, medium long, 38-44 inches
3) Bearings - ABEC 5 or Higher (ABEC 1 for example do not roll very well) (Swiss Bones are pretty popular - bonesbearings.com/ )
4) Wider wheels give more grip

Heaps to choose from....

PS - my numpty parents in law bought my nephew a skateboard, and it was advertised to have "Top Quality ABEC 1 Bearings". These 'new' bearings were about as good as a old dead set of bearings, full of sand !!

Plus the wheels were like soap !! But for about $15 from K-Mart, what do you expect....

For real info on decent longboards talk to the guys at www.hopkin.com.au , the loaded dervish boards are quite popular at the moment and wicked to ride.

Enjoy
PS Ditch the paddle, you can push faster with your foot.
