North San Diego SUP heaven
There are few places in the western world where you can surf or sup a peak alone.... And believe it or this is in northern san diego county. It helps that it's behind a gated complex....however there's still public access all around...?

Informative Video
Personally I am drawn to water. I think we all are! So obviously a great personalized SUP allows you to enjoy the water more than one doesn't suit your needs. Flat water, surf, racing, cruising down-winders....whatever type of supping you are into here is a video that might help in your search....Personally I have not ridden anything by BIC and have not heard anything. I do know they have reputation for "recreational" boards... but that might be what you need!!
enjoy...

Paddle Surf Hawaii Review 9'6" Wide Ripper
Designed For:
- Beginners to 170 lbs in Calm Conditions
- Expert Level Paddler/Surfers to 250 lbs.
- Dimensions:
- Height: 9'6"
- Width: 29 5/8"
- Thickness: 4 1/4"
- Fins: 2 + 1 or Quad
Weight: A-
For a performance SUP the weight is good but not great. A year or two ago this would have been an A but I have picked up a few newer boards with newer technology which would deserve an A+. Do not get me wrong the wight will not encumber you it just isn't surprisingly light. It feels about what you would expect.
Flat Water: B
This is a performance wave machine meaning you will not win any races. Stabilty and glide speed are compromised for wave performance. You will not be unhappy with it but there are more stable and cheaper boards for the recreational lake paddler.
Surf: A
This is what this board is made for. It catches waves early, has enough nose rocker to keep you above water, and really shines in waist to overhead surf. There are not a lot of SUP's you want to be on in 7' faces but this is one of them. The only common reveiw I hear is its a bit slow rail to rail for smaller mushier days. You will loose some speed when turning. Great board to be on when the November sets roll in.
Overall: A-
Great board with so much going for it, especially in head high surf. A solid shape, great fin placement and enjoyable responsivity. This is a near head of the pack SUP surf stick that will also allow the weekend warrior a few fun beer runs across the lake. ENJOY!!
Founders words:
"The whole direction of PSH board design is to satisfy people and stoke them out on all levels: stability, gliding speed while paddling and awesome surfing performance. It doesn't matter if the person is a beginner paddling flat water or a top professional surfing at the absolute highest levels in dangerous waves. I want that board to put a smile on their face every time they use it."-Blane Chambers

Sweet SUP Surf Video
Some days are for riding other for reflecting. Always fun to see what a lifelong surfer/shaper can make happen on a SUP.
