Hi guys and girls
I'm hoping someone can help me with a board that I purchased. It's a Robert August SUP that I purchased for $250....bargain but I can't find any information about it. I can't find anything online about it and I've contacted the Robert August shop In California but they couldn't help and said it was possibly a custom. It's an amazing board but it would be good to know something about it. Any help would be appreciated.
I do not use it much these days due to kite foiling and windwing foiling.
But who know there may be a day just right for it.
I'll have a go. I think it is an early SUP. Maybe 2010ish. No handle. For the day they were a decent board. I know somebody with one or similar and same dimensions. He says good glide and longboard style surfing. Shapes have moved on since then but for the price it is a good deal. I recently bought an old Angulo Shakka 14ft for $250. Great price to go for an easy paddle.
I think Angulo were ahead of their time and low level marketing did not help.
I demoed some and to me many thin, shortish wide boards are now that design
I would have a go on this beauty too, can you show the bottom shape, please Warwickl?
Robert August 'This is what I paddle'
Good for flat water paddling but not so good for surfing being the first generation designs.
We still use it today.
I know Sean Wilde was making custom Robert August longboards under licence in Australia a while back (I got a very nice 9'4" off him). Maybe he did a SUP or two as well and one made it all the way to California - or there was probably a shaper over there making them too.
Great buy, nice looking board! Probably earlier than 2010, cos Robert August was making sups with handles in that year.
