Paddleboard revolution!
Monday, June 14th, 2010Spring time in Santa Cruz is a season when flowers bloom, sunshine warms up the air, students graduate and finding waves become erratic and sometimes frustrating. It also becomes a time when 20kt.+ winds stir up tight interval wind swell waves down our beloved northern coastline and groom themselves along one of the best downwind paddleboard courses in the world.

SUP models now available
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Crossing boundaries and seeking adventure for the ultimate wave riding experience is the paramount of life and design at stretch boards. We’re no strangers to alternative constructions, wave types and riding styles. Our family, friends and team riders delve into the kite, tow, big wave, surf, wakesurf, longboard and psycho surf venues. Throw into the mix progressive watermen like Peter Trow, Garrett Mcnamara and a host of ocean aficionados, it should come as no surprise that Stretch would ultimately get his mind wrapped around more than just your average SUP.
- Stretch SUPs new for 2009
New for 2009, Stretch Boards is offering individually, custom shaped, hand crafted wave ripping SUP’s built in Santa Cruz, CA. Blending a multitude of eps/epoxy construction and design skill, over 30 years of board building experience, craftsmanship and hydrodynamic principles, Stretch’s SUP’s are more than just a recreational water vessel.
Stretch SUP’s are offered in two constructions:
Hand laminated fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin: $1400
Hand laminated Texalium bottom and deck with carbon fiber rail reinforcements: $1650
Both constructions include:
- 1.5 pcf density, 100% recyclable Marko EPS Foam
- 1/8” stringer
- direct size Hexcel fiberglass cloth
- Resin Research Epoxy Resin
- Future, FCS or LokBox fin system
- Custom built in Santa Cruz, CA USA
Utilizing Stretch’s design mechanisms for efficiency, performance and durability, each individual SUP is balanced with the ultimate ride in mind. Smooth entry over a continuous rocker supports up front stability and paddling ease while the complimentary tail rocker and thinner foil provides unmatched response and forgiveness when cranking turns on waves knee high or overhead.
In a world where sku #’s, catalog sizes and stamped out duplicates are the norm, shouldn’t you take in a breathe of fresh air and enjoy something unique? We all should!
