Surftech introduces the new B-1 stand up  paddleboard and it’s making waves in an industry already crowded with knock-off’s and budget brands.  Made with a proporietary Bounce Technology, the B-1 allows you to take on any body of water regardless of impending dangers to the board. Rocks, tree branches and other hazards are no match for the B-1′s near bulletproof construction. Weighing in at approximately 29 lbs, the B-1 is by far the most durable SUP in it’s weight class.  The B-1 was designed for a complete range of SUP adventures from rushing river rapids to ripping ocean waves and beyond.  Surftech team riders, Dane Jackson, Taylor Robertson and Ken “Hobie” Hoeve have rigorously tested the B-1 in rock infested rivers from Colorado to Tennessee.

As BC’s river SUP scene starts to grow, this board will rock it places like the Kootenays, Shuswap Region, Thompson River and other popular whitewater zones.  Of course, it’s a great all-round board for the lakes and it surfs well too so it might be that one-durable-board-fits-all solution.

“The B-1 is sick because its stable for running rivers, strong for hitting the rocks and fast for surfing the waves. It let’s you B-1 with your favorite rivers.”  said 2011 ICF Freestyle Kayak World Champion, Dane Jackson.
