Over the past few years, I have surfed various stand-up paddleboards. Unfortunately, the paddleboards available to rent in Oahu and Kauai are not designed for surfing, so I am constantly frustrated by the poor, oversized boards I am forced to ride.
I recently read a review of an inflatable surfing-focus paddleboard from an Australian Company called Honu. Their Honu Bondi small portable surfboard SUP can be easily transported on an airplane and has sufficient performance to surf in small to head-high waves.
The SUPboarder magazine did a thorough review and was impressed by the quality of the board. Since there was a Black Friday sale, I decided to purchase the following gear from Honu:
- Honu Bondi 8'8" SUP - $801
- Eva Bamboo Carbon Paddle (3-piece) - $208.25
- Super Hand Pump - $38.25
I plan to use the Honu Bondi at Oahu, Kauai, Lake Tahoe, and Punta Mita (and anywhere else where surfing is possible).
After ordering the board from Honu's website, I received it via FedEx on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. Everything fits in the backpack, but I hoped that the backpack had more pockets.
