The first of our touring SUPs or 'Paddle Campers' as we like to call them hit the water this weekend. Loaded up with tents and camping gear it cruised along like a dream and turned a lot of heads. The board's proud owner Brendon is new to paddling but had no problems with the 20km round trip that saw us negotiate boat wake, wind and one of the most picturesque streams in the Royal National Park. This board features a lightweight eps core, four lateral carbon stringers and a glass / Tasmanian Blackwood composite skin
