Has anyone tried to use this for SUP (Stand Up Paddle)? I am wondering about this since it has a "V" shape that might not fit with the SUP...

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

I think it would be fine. My kayak is fairly flat bottomed. The dolly needs to be on the center of whatever you are pulling and it needs to be strapped tight.

I have not tried it with a SUP. It might work if you bungeed it in sideways. But SUPs are lighter than my 60lbs++ kayak. Shoulder strap would probably be easier for a SUP I think.

Yes for this to have a sustain paddle will be really great...I do recommend that it should have a sustain paddle.

Hello, If you are using solely the paddle attachment then this could support it if made sure the belt is tight and the paddle is used to sit into pants as intended. It will not be compatible with the belt attachment though as it a very thick belt.

No. I used it for my 25 lb SUP. I can tell you this is a handy item for short distances at 25 mph or less. It will not provide the stability you need for highway transports of a kayak or SUP. I find I am now needing to upgrade.

If you mean stand up paddle, no, it is too small at 6 feet. A small child <45 lbs might be able to SUP on it.

doubt it, SUPS tend to be thicker and wider if I am not mistaken the biggest board she could carry would be in the 9ft range but don't quote me on that. Carver makes a rack system for longboards but I am not sure it would/could handle a SUP. If your looking at this system for a SUP I would advise against it. Hope this helps aloha

Probably. However, I found using the holder to be rather awkward given overhead branches and the need to paddle to keep the boat oriented to where I wanted to cast. Jonathan's question about fit is something I can't answer. Cheers!

That's exactly what it is supposed to do. The container turns instead of the paddle. Yours is working just fine :-)

The way the have the clamp design you can adjust every which way possible. I was also questioning the mounting positions previously. I would say it swivels on the mounting axis. I mount mine on my portabote somewhere in the middle of my side hull which is curved at an angle and slanted. The adjustments on the clamp allows me to still mount it vertically in the water. Kudos!!...so no worries about how crazy your mounting area is. It will work.

Yes. Great paddle. The rubber on both sides are super sticky. The carbon layer is stiff and makes paddle lighter than my older paddle. Good for spin, control and power.

Probably, but it also depends on the size and model of your boat. If your using skinny sit in, it is probably is too much paddle. If your on a wide sit on top it might suit your needs...

The pad itself is only 17" wide. If that is not a concern, the loop/strap you place the board in is 38" wide fully open (sorry, I cannot get a diametrical measurement.) That's a FLAT 38" so depending on the thickness of your board, you would only have a couple inches to spare in terms of tightening it down. As far as it fitting on the Wrangler, that shouldn't be a problem, nor the length of you boards since you can easily space the front and rear pads to your liking. In my honest opinion, based on the dimensions of your board, you would be pushing the limits on this one and you'll probably get some lateral rocking from the wind on the road. I'd suggest avoiding it for the SUP.

No, it desn't. I needed to buy a carry bag for this....in my opinion it is the only negative point about that SUP.

The bigger the paddle the more resistance....it dosen't really have much to do with height/weight. The best option is to check the company website and buy the size that best fits your description.

I checked one on southwest from Kentucky to California this year no problem. I did have to order another paddle, also from amazon and send it ahead of me as even a 3 piece was too big to fit anywhere. It was cheap enough paddle, just over $20, it all worked great.

So long as it isn't on a "sweet spot" which is around the middle it will be fine, the indentation may also leave as time passes. This is a fantastic paddle for the price. Of course if it hinders you, do what you must.

Hi, I have the same problem as I lost somehow the bigger fin out of the 3 fins of this SUP. Do you already have extra fins to order by now ? Thanks.
