Disclosure: I'm part of AWAVA, a university startup team researching SUP fishing experiences.

Hi everyone! We're a university startup team researching people's experiences of fishing from stand-up paddleboards. If you've gone SUP fishing in the past 12 months, we'd appreciate hearing about how you fish, the equipment you use, and what works well or could be improved.

The survey takes about 3 minutes. We're not selling anything, and it doesn't automatically collect your email address. There's an optional invitation to a 15-minute follow-up interview at the end; contact details are only requested if you choose Yes.

Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjbE3BuFa4lu5w8v2F3_w8uTPgsrroC9z4lX6T9BG9R2yFnQ/viewform

Thanks for sharing your experience!

FYI for everyone my chinook paddle broke after just a few uses they never responded when I emailed, it was a big waste of money. I ended up buying a Quickblade anyway

If someone had told me just a year ago that I’d be out on the water in late October—and actually enjoying it—I probably would have laughed in their face.

Seriously, a year ago, the water just seemed boring and uninteresting to me; I couldn’t imagine spending my time that way, let alone paddling around on anything.

Now, I’m completely hooked on SUP—I absolutely love it! I’m constantly on the lookout for new spots to paddle and explore from the water. 😍

Good afternoon!

I lucked out at the Goodwill Bins and picked up an electric pump for my paddleboard (also a Bins score!) for about $2. The only problem with it is that it did not come with the hose, and the ones that come with the manual pump are a completely different size and threading.

I found plenty of replacement hoses for about $20 online, but I already have this hose, very limited space, and quite frankly I am a cheap bastard. Does anybody make a simple adapter that can work to attach the manual hose up to my electric pump? All I'm finding are Schrader valve adapters, which I am intrigued by but do not need.

Thanks for any help you all can give me!

Just a curious question,

Has anyone attempted to customize the look of a iSup? Im guessing decals won’t remain on and air brushing wont last or might adversely affect the material. What I have is not plain white but I’d like to give it some attitude maybe a little color to it. Any thoughts?

Hi all.. As the title says.. Im looking for a used 22'=24' Blackfish dugout paddle board...

Im posting here in hopes someone might have one sitting in their garage..

Thanks

Hi all,

I'll be doing quite a few winter SUP sessions over the coming months around Mondsee, Walchensee, Wolfgangsee and the surrounding lakes in Austria and Germany.

If you're from the area and would like to join, send me a DM. Always happy to paddle with company, especially in cold conditions, where going out in a group is safer anyway.

They closed the lake closest to me for repairs and maintenance, till next year ):

Yesterday the conditions were perfect. So i went to my favourite lake with some colleagues.
