STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS FAQ

Q. What's the history of Stand up Paddle surfing?

A. Best if we send you to www.standuppaddles.com

Q. What is the construction of the Stonker boards

A. Light weight Styrofoam with epoxy composite construction, 3 options:
   1 - clear epoxy glass over custom graphics
   2 - clear epoxy glass over custom graphics with carbon rails
   3 - clear epoxy glass over genuine timber veneer deck.

Q. Is weight important

A. Yes - a light weight board is essential for maneuverability on small waves.
Advanced riders on big waves and strong winds can see the benefits of heavier boards, but for most riders – especially people new to the sport – LIGHT IS RIGHT
The Stonker 10’2” is 8.8kg (approx. 19 lbs) without fin

Q. What are the dimensions

A. We’re making custom sizes from - 9’0” x 28.5” x 4” to “ and 11’2” x 30” x 4.5”

Q. What’s going on with STABILITY?

A. THe main factor here is width. Rail shape and outline com into it a bit but the main thing is width. The wider the board and the bigger the thicker the rail the better the stability. Stonker has refined our designs to maximise stability while creating a board that is easy to paddle and surfs well in 6 inches to 6 foot.

Q. Can I use my old mal?

A. Yep – if you’re 60kg but for most of us need a wider board, around 28"-30". Even the 12’ tandem mals are pretty unstable. Width is everything.
