 This is the final Part 2 of 2 of an Exclusive Interview with stand up paddle surfboard shaper Steve Boehne of Infinity Surfboards. In this sections Steve offers tips for both beginner and advanced stand up paddlers, and gives us his opinion about the future to the sport. Thanks again to Steve for fueling the stand up paddle stoke!
SUPSURFMAG: What tips could you offer to someone just starting out?
STEVE: The most important thing is to look at the size chart in my web site www.infinitysurf.com. You must identify your ability profile and weight then choose the right length, width and thickness for your first board. You don’t want a board that is bigger than necessary, but you will be miserable on one that is too small.

We were absolutely fired up when we got word that Steve Boehne of Infinity Surfboards was going to share some of his wisdom with us. Steve was only 13 years old when he first took his hand to shaping. Several thousand boards later, he is applying his extensive knowledge of surfboard design to stand up paddle surfboards. Steve is one of the most easy going down to earth shapers I have every met, and he really knows his stuff. Thanks again Steve for sharing the stoke with us all.
SUPSURFMAG: What is Infinity Surfboards?
STEVE: Infinity is a company that loves surfboards. In our shop, the surfboards are out front while the clothes, accessories and wetsuits are hidden in the back
SUPSURFMAG: Where, when, and how did it all begin?
STEVE: After shaping for several shops in Huntington Beach, I decided in 1970 to start my own brand of boards. Most surfboard brands incorporate the name of the shaper or founder, but to me that just seemed to be too much of an ego trip. I chose instead a name that had meaning and a long recognized symbol, INFINITY. This was years before Infinity cars, stereo speakers, boats and everyone else who has copied it. I was the first to use Infinity as a name of a business or product. Thank goodness I have trademark protection for surfboards!
SUPSURFMAG: At what point did you decide to apply your knowledge and experience to shaping stand up paddle surfboards?
STEVE: I have always partaken in alternative ways to go surfing including tandem surfing and wave ski surfing. Since I have been shaping big tandem surfboards since 1968, it was just natural and easy for me to transfer that knowledge over to SUP boards.

SUPSURFMAG:What does Paddle Surf Hawaii have in store for the future?
BLANE:Same plan as day one. Build the best boards we can that are state of the art to help people elevate their performance levels… Another thing is we finally have boards to sell on a larger scale than just customs to friends and team riders. Shops all over the country will have the opportunity to carry our stuff. We’ll be at the Surf Expo in Florida to debut our new production boards. It’s exciting… It’s just so nice to have product instead of only customs.
People often ask, "What is it about stand up paddle surfing that makes it so great?" How do you answer that question when other surfers ask you that when you're out in the water?
For me it’s by far the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever done. I lost over 40 lbs when I started. I like the fact that just paddling out and trying to stay balanced going over whitewater etc takes your complete attention. From the time you leave the beach the focus level on the task at hand is 100%.
If you’re just paddling around flat water then maybe the attention is not as intense but the scenery grabs you… All the things to look at both in the water and out from the standing perspective is awesome. You don’t need to have waves to challenge yourself… You can just paddle around then do a kick turn and it’s a challenge. Cool to always be checking out the sites too… It’s an amazing workout that isn’t a boring grind like the gym. |
