Revitalizing Board and Paddle Reviews

One of the most popular elements of Ke Nalu is the Stand Up Paddle Board reviews, followed closely by the Paddle reviews. They are woefully out of date and not very accessible. That’s mostly because they were initially done as part of a big Stand Up Paddle Board showcase event we held on Maui two years ago.

Since Stand Up Paddle surfing has exploded in popularity and the number of boards has increased hugely, we don’t think we’re likely to have another all-encompassing event. For that matter it’s not really feasible for us to directly review boards–they are made in so many different locales now that it’s simply not cost effective. So instead we are going to rely on you readers and on the manufacturers.

There are easy-to-use review forms for both SUP boards and SUP Paddles in the REPORT tab in the green bar at the top of the page. Of just click this link for the SUP Board Review or this link for the SUP Paddle Review

Thanks for your help with this project. Feel free to review any board you have access to. We welcome board reviews submitted by manufacturers as well.

The next step will be reorganizing the reviews to put them into a more easily accessible form. We will also have forum discussion links to enable further discussion of each board and paddle.
