This is a short video of our time in Mexico. We at SUP Kentucky believe that its necessary to paddle all year long. We strive to stay on top of the SUP world by competing and running hard rapids. All of this experience transfers to our student through Knowledge and FUN!
Lets go paddle

I’ve seen a lot of SUP products over the last few years, some good, some bad. Recently I had the chance to paddle some Glide SUP boards, traditional surfboard design with a bombproof GSS coating. My Glide boards have fallen from the roof rack to the cement, t-boned other surfboards in the ocean and been ridden across thousands of rocks without any damage.
If you are looking for a lightweight board with durability for the river, Glide has the perfect ride.
Board sizes range from 12 foot 6 inches to the 7 foot long Sesh, all have the GSS and are river surfing machines.
One of my personal favorites is the 9 foot Mongo. This board is stable enough for the river, and loose on the ocean. 360′s and awesome nose rides are waiting if you can just find some swell!
I spend a lot of time on inflatable SUP’s because they are durable enough for the river, however inflatables will NEVER surf as well as a rigid board. Glide gives you a legitimate surfing board without the flex of inflatable and a ding-proof skin!
I hear rumors that Glide SUP will have a river running board that surfs and crushes rapids for 2013. Stay tuned for more reports on this board when it becomes available, in the meantime check out the crew at WWW.GLIDESUP.COM made in the U.S.A and some of the best boards you can find!

We’ve been making the rounds here in Mexico this year. Water levels are on the low side so we have been using the SUP,s a lot this year. After the Alseseca Race we went to the Rio Filobobos then down to Rio Actopan…and later everybodies favorite whitewater paradise Rio Micos.
Boards we are using are the: NRS Czar, Glide SUP Mongo and the Satrboard Converse 9.0
great times…enjoy the video and find us at http://standupmexico.weebly.com/

This blog is from a SUP stand point. SUP is much more footwear intensive than kayaking. When we find something good..we get very excited!

I’ve been using the Czar for about 2 months now, and I have to say, this board is FUN. I can’t wait for the production models to hit the scene. The 2013 line up from NRS is going to be great for beginner through advanced. Check out the video below. It shows the stability and user friendliness of the Czar better than I can.
See you on the water

You have to choose your waterfalls very carefully when paddling a SUP. You want the falls to be near vertical and not too tall. The drop in these pictures is about 14 feet tall.
With these sliding drops it is very important to not use the skegs. Either turn the board around backwards or choose a board with removable skegs.
Foot placement should be in the Kung Fu stance so you have maximum stability. I have also tried surfer stance and it worked fairly well.
Your weight has to stay moving with the board. If you are too far back the board will kick up and leave you in the landing. Too far forward and it will sub out and become very unstable.
If you can get in a big stroke for the landing it will help to keep you connected to the board. A change in velocity is what causes falls, whether it be the board or rider.
The downtime was pretty heavy on this drop. I actually fell after the board resurfaced. A board with a little more rocker will keep me from going so deep the next time.
At Kayak Huasteca we use Imagine Rapidfire boards and Werner paddles. All can be Purchased at CKS.
See you on the river…

Once in a while you come across a product that just makes sense. Spokiz sunglasses make SENSE! There are no arms to break, the frames are cast aluminum, lenses are poly-carbonate polarized and BOMBPROOF.
Spokiz have unique built in chums. There is no need to buy extra cords or straps to secure your glasses.
These glasses fit perfectly under bike, kayak, surf and snowboarding helmets.
The frames are held together with common bike spoke nipples, hence the name SPOKIZ pronounced Spoke-eyes!
Below is a short video promo for Spokiz glasses. They are always looking for more reps and people who want to help with the revolution.

If you want the glasses check out www.teamspokiz.com
