    The secret is out. North Shore Inc. (NSI) is producing some of the slickest stand up paddle surfboard deck pads around. With the basic pad available in 6 colors, there are 12 styles to drool over in their deck pad lineup. Each deck pad is available in single and dual-density foams. NSI Padz are 88" long and 23.5" wide so they're guaranteed to cover your stick where you need it most. 

    The beginnings of NSI go back to 1988 in the basement of Mark Brady in White Salmon, WA where the first high density NSI deck pads were born. Then, in 1991 NSI crossed the Colombia River to Hood River  where they've been ever since. Recently they have become a one-stop shop for stand up paddle deck pads, carriers, board stackers, rail guards, paddles, and blade covers. Visit NSI at www.northshoreinc.com.
