I know summer only started a few months, weeks, days, hours ago . . . but it’s time to start thinking SNOWBOARD SEASON.
Easy Rider is proud to be a part of Burton’s Storm Warning.
We will be debuting all the new Burton boards / boots and bindings on Saturday, August 13 in the store.
Tons of goodies, a chance to win $1000. worth of Burton gear, and goodie bags to the first 13 people that pick up some new gear.
Don’t miss it!

STANDARD FILMS TB20 OFFICIAL TEASER from Standard Films on Vimeo.
Took out a selection of Inflatable SUP’s to the Demo on Tuesday night and gave them all a try.
Boards included the C4 iSup 10’6″, the new Hobie ATR I 10’8″ and a prototype of Starboards new 2012 Whopper Inflatable.
In a totally un scientific test – here are my results.
The C4 was the fastest (because it was the narrowest) but it didn’t track as well as the other two because it has 3 molded in smaller fins.
The Starboard was the most stable (because it is 35″ wide)
The Hobie tracked the best (larger center fin – also on the Starboard) and a longer water line due to it’s length)
Both the Starboard and the Hobie featured tie down locations of gear on the nose area.
After our “test” – Delmer, Robin and I engaged in a potential new SUP sport – Bumper Boards!
You were not allowed to hit the legs – but ramming each other on the nose or tail of the boards was a lot of fun.
Might have to work that into some sort of contest at a WEM demo this winter.
If storage space is limited, or ease of transportation are high on your SUP priority list – you can’t go wrong with any of these boards.
While you may not win a race with a “normal” epoxy board – they are a great alternative and are a blast for general cruising.
