Hi
Just wondering if anyone has ridden the Walden SUP I have a 9 foot Magic model (normal mal) its the best mal I have every used. A local shop has the SUP bottoms shape looks the same, interesting rail shape and nice pad sunk into deck. However no one at the shop SUP,s and its not for demo. I have ridden both Naish boards has enyone out there tried this board?? Thanks Rod

i have heard it may have some, er, construction issues. this may have been just the one sup board in question, i can't remember, but you might ask your dealer about it and see if he's heard anything.

Today I sussed out what these construction issues are..if any.

The only issue is that the Southpoint boards tended to chip easily along the rails from paddle wacks..

The Southpoint also have a slight issue with the grip lifting sometimes at the edge..

This issue has been addressed with a stronger top coat..and stronger glue..So I've been told.

There's no issue with the boards construction..They're tuff boards...Here's some pics that I took the day I had a go on it.
