I tried out my 9'6"
Pope Bisect in Hopewell Lake. This board is a longboard and not a SUP board. I'm light so it barely floated me but it worked okay. At first it was a little wobbly since the width is only 23 inches. I actually fell in the water once, but once I got used to it I was okay standing up and paddling. When I got tired I went down on my knees and paddled. I'm using a C4 Junior paddle. It has a carbon fiber shaft/handle and a fiberglass blade. I wonder if this is the first SUP venture in the State of New Mexico. I'm currently awaiting shipment of an ULI SUP board. Once it arrives I will test it out on the Rio Grande. If you are curious about ULI boards check out their website:
