Paws on the board! My favorite first mate for today's paddleboarding adventure 🐾🌊

I see this board for sale at Costco online, Its a hybrid that comes with an inflatable seat back. It looks like it works better for my wife, who's heavy. Also, I think it would be cool to fish instead of my kayak so i can stand up occasionally. Anyone experienced with this? It does look cumbersome and slow to paddle?

I know this question get asked quite a bit on here, but which of these boards would yall deem as the best? Looking to get it as a gift

I made a post venting about my beast of a paddle board, and I just wanted to say I did it! I got out there again. It felt amazing on the water watching the sunset. A moment of mental peace is so rare for me. I hope I get to do this more.

Cut to the reloading process and I sorta almost snapped my neck trying to lift the damn thing against my car. I should have done it a better way but my brain fog wasn’t letting me think clearly. Of course now that I’m in bed I can picture exactly what I needed to do, and exactly what I did wrong. I definitely need to figure out some sort of rolling mechanism for my roof because the incline of the boat launch makes the top of my car just a little too high. It’s a weird feeling of having a great time but then struggling so hard I want to give up again.

“Get an inflatable!” I agree. If I’m meant to have one it will find it’s way into my life. Tmi but I have only made a single Benjamin in the past two weeks because my health issues are flared up from working, (vicious cycle there) so scarcity mindset is too real right now. I’m not selling this board. This thing will last a lifetime so I really want to keep it. (a pun because it’s a lifetime brand board) I hope one day I’ll have a friend that can help me load it. One of us could use it along with my future inflatable board. A girl can dream!

I’m thankful for that moment of peace I got today on the water.

It may be over-engineered for a cup holder, but it made for a fun project. Let me know what you think

I love my paddle board. (Just a vent, I don’t really need suggestions ) I’ve been desperate to find something to get me off the literal floor from depression and out of the gross hot camper I live in. While brainstorming, I remembered around five years ago I got to use someone’s board, and I had a blast! So I started obsessing over getting a paddle board. I really wanted a hard shell because I thought it would make me feel more secure or something as a beginner. This one was used and only $100. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t find anything for less money. I’ve taken it out once. Then realized due to my health issues, I can’t get it back on the car without a real struggle when I’m done. Honestly even getting it off the car and down to the water is a lot. I am capable of doing it on a good day. But due to my health issues, good days are few and far between. I’m not going to sell it. I really love it, and couldn’t afford a new inflatable one anyway. Money is so annoying. I’ll get out there at least once more before it gets cold. I’ve been sitting on the floor for hours in a sad episode and needed to vent about something so here I am. My apologies haha

Hey all. My wife bought a Ascend paddle board and she ordered what we thought was a replacement fin online, but it's not the right size. Any idea where we can find a replacement online? We called Cabela's and REI w/ now luck.

It's measurements 10'6"L x 32"W x 5"H.

The fin is 7 inches and needs a thumbscrew. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone in the real world have a Samadally board?

Ive fallen for the anesthetics and cant seem to move on...

I don't love the idea of a middle centre 4th fin though.

Thank you

I went on a camping trip and wanted multiple sized drink holders for different drinks. But I also wanted something compact and easy to travel with. I've been working on these nesting cups that all store into each other, but also, they all work individually!

I'm on version 20, and I think I'm about done with it!

Is there anything you would add or want to see?

Started off this summer on borrowed boards, terrified of getting eaten by orcas… Felt good to haul in some crab!

Spent my Saturday exploring the coast on my paddle board near Hearst Castle
