Hi Peeps,
We have finally finished off our new custom made Stand Up Paddle Perth Downwind trailer.
We are going to be doing regular Northern Beach runs as the season gets under way. There are a few great runs I've done like City Beach to Scarborough, Scarborough to Sorrento and Scarborough to Mullaloo, or any combination of the above. My fave is the Scarborough to Mulla's run. Wicked runners just past Trigg Point and excellent runners from just past Hillarys to Mullaloo.
Call us in the shop or watch us on facebook (www.facebook.com/standuppaddleperth) for days when we will be operating this service. It's time to get a Downwind crew happening proper.
The trailer is a 7' x 4' Box Trailer with lighter springs than standard and an extra long drawbar, extra paint due to water and corrosion, and drop down front and rear tail gates for an extra board in the tray.
Artificial grass in the tray because it handles water and doesn't rot or scratch the boards, and a custom built, bright galvanized frame with special foam paddling.
The trailer will easily accommodate boards from 8' to 17' foot and even handles extra wide boards.
We're stoked! Bring on the wind!

I really thought I was going to get a cool video when I opened this topic
That's a loooong trailer arm!
what a great trailer. I often thought we need something like that here in Dunedin.
I hope it works out as planned
Hey Guys,
When we first announced we would be getting into SUP and we would be turning things upside down in terms of a traditional retail model in Perth, we knew we would upset a few people along the way.
It seems we are getting it right because every time we post a positive post about free services we offer like our fitness sessions, or stuff like the Downwind service, we cop a red thumb from some disgruntled individual. LOL. We know who you are
Red thumb away coz it means we are right on track

I reckon that's a great service your offering there DM,
shows you have a genuine interest in the sport itself other than just selling Sup's,
to bad I'm 3000k away
Great work Darren and Todd, a well thought out trailer for sure. Will definitely streamline your downwind runs !
Look forward to seeing you for a couple of runs sooner rather than later.
Cheers Simmo
Nice one Darren, looking forward to the season, taste of it today..
bring on the downwinders the question will be to kite or sup or surf ski paddle ? Got to luv the west coast over spring and summer.
Hey rahams, price tag for this unit weighed on at a little over $2,000 not including my labour.
@ LouD, that sounds like it might be a plan. Let's watch the weather and if it comes in, we might get a start, I'm keen to put the Jamie Mitchel through its paces on the Ocean in a Perth Seabreeze. Call us.
Just thinking, I may be knackered. I have three 1.5 hr training sessions to get through tomorrow. Give us a call and see if I can manage it, I may need an IV at the end

Excellent stuff Dazz, if i'm around this summer when you guys are doing a DW i'll be keen to join in.

Hey good work Darren!
Love to get out on a downwinder with you guys on the Northern Beaches, I can just take my board to work and trailer up!
Looks cool, like the grass.
Sweet Darren :) Hopefully we can come over a few days earlier to the doctor next year and do some runs before the race.
Trailer looks the goods, nice work.
