for all you shortboard sup addicts,drop a few inches to 7....
That vid is a good example of going shorter for the sake of going shorter. Board may work great in different conditions with a lighter rider, but on that day, and that guy on it, something doesn't look right.
I don't know if the board was crap or not, but there's something wrong in that video.
The guy can obviously surf because he was able to stand up on that thing and paddle it.
His weight is too far back and he has the nose of the board way up in the air. All he had to do was trim the board out and it would have looked ok. People surf planks of wood and make them look fine.
I've seen guys on 10-11' SUP riding along with the nose in the same position.
