Maiden Voyage

We took one of the Sea State Kit Board SUPs over the Creve Coeur lake for a shake down cruise.
It performed as it was designed to.  It is stable and tracks well.
There was quite a bit of wind which makes paddle boarding difficult. After a brief paddle to windward our tester went with the wind and flew.  Most of the lake is covered with ice.  It was 34F degrees.  His dry suit helped a little.

Ice was actually building up on the bow deck.
When he was ready to come in, an ice flow was blocking the way so he had to chop his way through.
Take a look at the videos.  The Sea State Cahokia paddle is tougher than most paddles.
They are available for sale at St. Louis Sail and Paddle and also by contacting me directly at: dckreutz@gmail.com
This SUP is available as a kit or professionally built.  See the page link above.
