The South Beach, a longboard-style surf SUP
The “South Beach” is pure SUP surfing fun! The responsiveness of the “South Beach” will not disappoint. For riders wanting a great balance between performance and stability in a 9’ surf SUP, this is the perfect combination. The “South Beach” has enough volume for bigger riders but is responsive enough for lighter weight riders as well. We have been riding the prototype “South Beach” for a couple of seasons and find that for our more relaxed style of riding it is the perfect board. If you mostly ride big, hollow barrels, this may not be the board for you. But if your objective is to ride a fun board in fun surf, then the “South Beach” will be your perfect choice.
We have set this board up with a thruster fin setup and it needs a very specific fin profile. We have found what we think is the ideal fin setup for the “South Beach” after many trial and error surf sessions. We love the adjustability of the Hanelei Fins System made by Robin Mair. We are excited to share our experience and know you will be just as stoked as we are before the end of your first session!
