Prone Paddle Boards?

[SharkB8]

True. Do it for a month consistently and you’ll notice how much better you’re paddling for the surfin

I screwed up my knee and doctors said no surf for a couple months. I paddled prone 3-4 times a week for most of the summer. When I finished physical therapy and got the green light to surf I was a beast. I’d surf for hours like it was nothing. Should have stuck with it more. Think I might try a rescue/race mal board to play prone but in small surf too. I like kneeboarding on longboards anyway

I am curious about PSV as well and even tried to order one but Dave said he can't get the blank any more.

thats too bad.

youre in hawaii? right? gives you a leg up on us mainlanders when it comes to aleutian juice.

covid foam shortages. you could make 4 normal sized boards out of one psv blank

What are the East Coast options for prone boards? I feel like most of what I see are on West Coast.

vesl scanned & copied boards, then undercut the true shapers in price. theyre assholes.

sounds right up my alley. Do you need the steering mechanism?

I only see like 4 people you can buy new ones from - 2 of which are Vessl and Surftech. These seem pretty tough to hand shape I'm guessing.

What kings of roof racks do you use? Would kayak j style racks work?

I’m trying to figure out how to lock a 14’ prone on one side of my racks and still have room on the other side for longboards.

The hallways in my apartment are tight for my 10 foot log and I think a 12 foot paddle board would be impossible to maneuver. Does anyone have a recommendation for storing a board in north county SD? A full sized rental unit seems excessive.

I'm in a similar situation. Decided I'm going to get a cover like this and find a way to lock it to the roof racks on my car - https://www.victorykoredry.com/collections/uv-board-covers/products/14-sup-cover. Maybe I can use kayak racks on one side to clear enough room on the other side for surfboards. If it doesn't feel really secure I might look into joining the aquatic center which provides storage for a fee.
