Hello friends,
I got "da" scoop.... Starboard SUP rider and designer Scott McKercher and his lovely girlfriend Margareta spent some time with us here in Bali for equipment testing and photo shooting.
Funny is that when I went to pick them up at the airport with the SUP mobile he found out that his picture is on the side of my car!!
He is an amazing rider and I really learned allot in this few days.
Lucky for me I also had the chance to test the new models of Starboard SUP but I can't really say anything or they will kill me..
I even had to photoshop some of the images to hide the new boards look... Sorry! they are amazing but still top secret....
Thanks to Margareta for the photos and at least you can enjoy the action....

Ciao JB,
actually I'm always looking for someone to go SUP with as we are still very few!
Mostly is me alone
I'm sure it would not be too difficult to convince your wife to come here for a holiday.

Hi Jankie

It looks like you rent SUP. Do you also rent out kitesurf gear?

Great pic's Jankie,

I wish I was still there.

The misses has already pencilled in a trip next year, I guess I'll have to tag along. Hopefully by then I be good enough to have a crack at those waves out from kite beach, near the beacon.

The Starboard paddle I bought from you is the ducks gusts. Been so light = more time on the water.

Gorgo,
Jankie hires SUP's and kiting gear. The local crew are great.

JB,
Your misses will love it if she likes shopping and resting by the pool. She might get p1ssed off with you though, spending so much time on the water.

Ian

Hello guys,

Smaller, narrower, longer, wider.... Not even sure if the boards I tried will ever come close to production.
