Waterkids, Connor Baxter and Zane Schweitzer have developed a board shape to suit their style and body size. The 8’5” x 28” is designed for waterkids looking for a quick learning curve. It’s front section provides stability for paddling through the waves and the more stinger aft section offers acceleration , speed and rail to rail response. Despite its short length, it glides well on flat waters for light riders. It’s tri fin set up provides plenty of directional stability to enjoy gliding down the rivers and over the lakes anywhere any time. It also rips behind a boat or on the Cable park.

“Maui is a spectacular place for Stand Up Paddling. One can paddle on the open ocean and stop at different surf spots. You can cruise or race, have a group of friends with you or be on your own. There is beauty all around - above and below the water. Its diversity with waves, flat water, open ocean swells and breathtaking sceneries, makes Maui a unique place for SUP’s.”

“I like to SUP right outside my house. The beach we usually go to is called Launuiopoko. It is a really fun family spot. My mom and I go out there a lot and do a down wind paddle in the morning then ride the waves all the way back up the coastline.The boards are so versatile because you can surf them, paddle them and even windsurf them.

But my most memorable SUP’s include the awesome beauty you can see from the board. I have surfed right by fish, turtles, eagle rays, and even humpback whales. SUP is a blast, and a great cross training sport! It is so much fun.... See you out on the water!”
