Good afternoon!

I lucked out at the Goodwill Bins and picked up an electric pump for my paddleboard (also a Bins score!) for about $2. The only problem with it is that it did not come with the hose, and the ones that come with the manual pump are a completely different size and threading.

I found plenty of replacement hoses for about $20 online, but I already have this hose, very limited space, and quite frankly I am a cheap bastard. Does anybody make a simple adapter that can work to attach the manual hose up to my electric pump? All I'm finding are Schrader valve adapters, which I am intrigued by but do not need.

Thanks for any help you all can give me!

Hi all.. As the title says.. Im looking for a used 22'=24' Blackfish dugout paddle board...

Im posting here in hopes someone might have one sitting in their garage..

Thanks

Just a curious question,

Has anyone attempted to customize the look of a iSup? Im guessing decals won’t remain on and air brushing wont last or might adversely affect the material. What I have is not plain white but I’d like to give it some attitude maybe a little color to it. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

I'll be doing quite a few winter SUP sessions over the coming months around Mondsee, Walchensee, Wolfgangsee and the surrounding lakes in Austria and Germany.

If you're from the area and would like to join, send me a DM. Always happy to paddle with company, especially in cold conditions, where going out in a group is safer anyway.

They closed the lake closest to me for repairs and maintenance, till next year ):

Yesterday the conditions were perfect. So i went to my favourite lake with some colleagues.

I have been doing some runs on my local river with a PFD that is technically rated for whitewater, although it’s a little sketchy according to my instructor. What are you guys using for whitewater?

Is a class 5 really necessary? Looking at the ninja and ninja pro, but if I’m going to drop $150+ on an off I want to make sure I’m getting the right one. The astral green jacket seems overkill.

Oh and what is the difference between a kayak and SUP pfd? Are there any brands or models that specifically cater towards sup?

Before this trip I'd been looking for paddleboard portaging videos and couldn't find much. There's tons of canoe tripping content, but almost nothing showing loading up a SUP and heading into the backcountry.

I honestly wasn't sure how feasible it was. Would portages be miserable? Would I tip everything into the lake?

So I tried it and filmed the whole thing to show what it actually looks like. 3 days / 2 nights in Algonquin Park: Rain Lake → Sawyer Lake → Jubilee Lake, where I camped, with a day paddle to Juan Lake.

Short answer: it's very doable. It's my first video, so feedback is welcome:

If you've been wondering whether you could do a trip like this on your SUP, happy to answer any questions!
