Today i took out the JP 9'3 at scabs. It was light on at times for the boys on 5.7, but decided with a SUP a 5.1 would be enough. And it was

I had a great time keeping up wind easily and getting some great rides. The more i used it the comfy i found it. (i'm yet to SUP this board in the waves, maybe tomorrow)
The only drama i had was when tacking the board if i stepped in front of the deck pad the board was very slippery and i'd fall off. But this is minor and can be fixed with some wax, pads or booties.

So who else lately has been playing with SUPs and rigs and what was the result ??

so when are we going paddling greenie? i wanna get this new board sussed!

it looks like you need more batten tension on the top 2 battens in the Kult Gestie

the 45 degree creases in the top 2 panels made me think that. they run the opposite way to the indicator creases of too soft a mast.

looking again at it i think that the 2nd batten needs the tensioning coz of a wrinkle very obvious at 49sec. the top crease is from the flex off when not enough downhaul is applied.

epic ?
