The blue carbon boards for 2024 come with a light cover but all surf bags are sold separately.

A board under 9' is usually ok to fly with. Check out the infinity RNB, starboard wedge, and NSP DC surf wide. They are sub 9' boards that still have around 140-150L of volume. They very stable easy compared to a "performace" shape board with lower volumes but still offer great agility due to shorter length. The only draw back is they're slower to Paddle than a longboat but that's the sacrifice you have to make for travel.

@@mikespaddle Thanks Mike. I’ll check them out for sure!

@ hey Mike .. I took your recommendation and found a 8’8 Infinity RNB on Marketplace. Holy crap it’s changed my surfing life. What an incredible board. Can’t wait to get it to Nica next year. Thanks again!

Its ultimately up to the person but in our opinion Black project has the best value between price, performance, weight and durability at every price point

I bet the 9x26 pivots like a dream. My go to is the 10x29 longboard, we had a 10x27 Infinity new deal for a while and it's superfast but a little too low volume for heavier days here in NorCal

🤣 That's true!

We see leopard sharks and bat rays all the time on our marina, they're very cute!

Next bolinas day we can play with it!

You can thank the magic of DSP, it is very loud in the raw audio!

Carbon fiber is not cheap.

@@mikespaddle I don’t care about Carbon fiber… do you know an affordable race touring kayak?

@@lakkchina Sorry we specialize in Standup paddleboards

@@mikespaddle I’m talking about SUP

You asked where you can find an "affordable race touring kayak"

It was!

It depends on what you want to get out of your board. Are you trying to go faster or do you want something that you can downwind surf? Regarless of the board shape dropping down to a 24.5 or 23 will get you more speed and better control in surf. The RST is great as its a Swiss army knife, it excells in Downwind, flat water, and beach conditions can't go wrong with it.

You can email Mike directly mike@mikespaddle.com!

@@mikespaddle Thank you Mike. I did

Hi there the Lima is nice paddle for the price but it is not on the same level as the BP Hydro series. The lima is like the Camery paddle and the Synergy is a Corvette in terms of performance and quality

Thank you for watching our videos and ordering from us! We'll be in touch this week to coordinate shipping, Happy Paddling!

Glad you enjoined it! We definitely have lots of wipeouts! 😂

RST will definitely be faster if the widths are the same.

@@mikespaddle thanks

This was in Southern California

Fun fact the earliest recorded history of humans riding waves is from polynesians 3000 years ago, riding waves in fishing canoes... using paddles. If you're riding a wave, you're surfing 🤙

Thanks for the kind words!

Hi I'm the guy in the video. A full layer of primer, paint, and and clear coat adds lot of weight on a 14' board. We all know weight is a big selling factor with race board so they try to add as little as possible. It's not good to NOT paint a carbon board just to save lbs as the paint protects the carbon from UV damage. So the thin matte finish is a compromise between weight and protection. Hope that sheds some light on the "distressed paint" trend.

It really depends on where you are paddling. If you paddle primarily on the bay or the coast than the is a great option. Feel free to give us a call if you'd like more help www.mikespaddle.com/pages/contact-us-1

Glad it was helpful!

We're impressed so far it's our favorite for the Bay Area downwinding!

Hey, im about to order an Atlantis 14x24. Don't have the chance to try it before buying, so i wanted to know a bit more about it's flat water and upwind capabilities. Mostly will be ridden in mild conditions. I already own a SIC RS 14X26. Thanks.

@Mike's Paddle unfortunately i live waaaayy too far to come by and have a look. If you can get back to me with your feedback it would be highly appreciated. Im surprised a board like this, is how hard to find. Limited reviews as well, so just wanted to be sure before i get it. Thanks in advance.

@@sotirispanteli1865 I don't the youtube comments section is the best place to help you out, but if you send me a text 415-704-6176 or email info@mikesapddle.com I can help you out. They are sold out for 2021 so you have plenty of time to make a decision.
