I'm hoping some of you can give me some advice. I'll be over on the USA mainland 26th July to 19th August. East Coast from 26th July to 5th August, then West Coast 6th to 19th August. Aiming for low key SUP surfing surfari with my wife. I guess it'll be pretty much small surf season on the US mainland. Thinking of hiring, buying/reselling a SUP over there, 8'6ish.

Thanks for any hints. Steve.

PS. It was encouraging to read the BOP California thread. Am stoked on the opportunity to go to a country I've never been to.
