 In the world where stand up paddle surfing is not limited by the ocean, Kahuna Creations is king for high performance land paddles. Our long time readers may recall reading the review we did on the original Kahuna Big Stick several years ago. We were definitely impressed back then and Kahuna has outdone themselves introducing an unparalleled candy store of Big Stick constructions and styles, including the Kahuna Snow SUP for snow paddling. While we were hoping for a snow storm in Hawaii to review a Snow SUP, we were stoked when a box arrived here on the North Shore of Oahu with Kahuna Creations' latest adjustable land paddle. And we were double stoked when we took it to the pavement. In this review, we are having a look at the Adjustable Big Stick land paddle. (And check out the INSANE DISCOUNT on all Kahuna Creations products at the end.)
First of all, what has Kahuna changed from their earlier versions of the Kahuna Big Stick? The most prominent change, and the shining star of the Big Stick is where the stick hits the road. The Kahuna Road Blade has replaced the rubber donuts of the original model Kahuna Big Sticks. In water stand up paddling, we often speak of the “catch” that a paddle has. The “catch” is the ability of the paddle to grab the water when it makes its initial contact. The new Kahuna Road Blade definitely has more catch that the original models. It sticks to the road allowing for longer strokes and more power delivery without slippage. The rubber used in the blade seems slightly softer than previous technology which gave us more confidence when really leaning our weight on the stick.

Like most parkas, the
Surf-Fur is purpose-built: you wear it on the beach before you paddle out to
stay warm and dry; you wear it over your wet clothes during race intervals to
keep the chilly wind from stealing your body heat; and you wear it after the
day’s paddle to re-warm your core.

 Your search for the ultimate stand up paddle friendly surf hat may end with this review of the Surf Munkey surf hat. With over 68,000 cases of skin cancer reported last year and almost 12,000 deaths attributed to skin cancer, sun protection for surfers and stand up paddlers is definitely a must. In this product review we'll look at a piece the construction, features, and our overall impression of the Surf Munkey surf hat .
The Surf Munkey construction is solid. Usually one of the first things to go in any product is the stitching. Even after tugging at the seams in all directions and all angles of the hat, the stitches remained tight and strong. The fabric is a strong an lightweight nylon that dries quick and looks good. The chin strap is double stitched into the inside rim of the hat for comfort and durability. Hat size is adjusted with a heavy duty velcro strap in the back for a custom fit. We didn't find any weaknesses in the construction.

Stand up paddle boards by TowerSUP are being offered on a pre-buy for $100 off the regular retail price of $599. To take advantage, you have to purchase online in the next couple of weeks (and pay now) and your board will be shipped in late May or early June.You’re basically buying in upfront on their container shipment and they’re passing the saving onto you. If you’re willing to wait a few months, it might be a good deal for you. Both their SUPTower Fit and their SUPTower Social boards are being offered on pre-buy. The relatively lightweight Tower SUP boards have a classic triple stringer surfboard look, and are wide and thick which creates good floatation and stability.The 9’10” board is only 26 lbs with deck pad and fins installed. Distinguishing features (for an economy priced SUP) include a high-end, diamond grooved deck pad, 5 Futures fin box set-up, and a double concave bottom contour. |
