OC-1

• Pueo OC-1 by Kamanu, $4500 for the Ultralight Carbon. This is generally regarded as the best all around OC-1 and is the same thing Kent has two of.

Surf Ski

• Huki SX-1-Special is probably what I'd want... or ponder just getting a lightweight ocean touring kayak.

SUP

• Starboard
• Infinity

Touring/Distance SUP

• Infinity Whiplash all around touring/distance SUP.

  • Amundson Tour/Race
  • 14' TR-X $2500

Misc notes, cleanup

• Kazuma of Hawaii seems to make some nice SUPs, in carbon for reasonable prices.

• Wave Front Surf in Ventura makes/sells the Orbicular Flyer for $999 which seems like a good all around surfer.

• Hoe Nalu Classic Bamboo

SUP Paddles

• KeNalu, sound like the best all around, use hot glue so repairs/alterations are easy.

• Werner Nitro, nicest (only?) bent shaft and nice straight as well.

• Werner GrandPrix touring/race, not rated for surfing.

• Carbonerro, Dan is a buddy of Anne Diamonds.

• ZRE lightweight, history in canoe paddles.

• QuickBlade, also QB, seem nice.

• Kialoa, nice paddles, really nice adjustable mechanism.
