Carl Schaper and Bonga Perkins Designs: Carl Schaper talks about the Bonga 10'0" stand-up model. “Bongas high-performance, wave riding stand-up design - the most noticeable feature of the design is the step-deck and rail. This unique configuration creates a full volume board with disproportionately thin rails. The thinner rails allow the board to bottom turn, carve and fit in the pocket much like a standard longboard." The board comes complete with built in deck grip for maximum traction with minimum fuss. It helps make the board easy to work with and comfortable to use. It also comes with a Ultra Stiff light weight Carbon Paddle. The Bonga SUP is designed for use by a range of SUP surfers. Target weight range is probably 80 kgs / 175lbs +/- 5kg / 12 lbs. It is also designed to be surfed as much as paddled so if you want to mix it up on the face of the wave this one of the best boards to do it on. In fact Bonga won the August 2007 C4 Waterman/Honolua Surf Co in Hawaii on this production model. Once again performance straight out of the box that you can rely on. Comes with paddle. Height: 9'1" Width: 22 5/8" Thickness: 3" (Rider weight approx 210 lbs) This item requires an additional charge for handling due to oversize packaging.
