Hop on the Ocean Kayak Nalu Kayak and do some paddle-boarding when the water\222s calm. Once the wind kicks up and the chop starts, you can sit comfortably on the Nalu and paddle along the shore or ride the surf back in. Foot wells provide the platform for standing and control while the storage bungee to the rear stores a water bottle or your flip flops. The dual carrying handles and mere forty pound weight make transport easy.

Bottom Line: Get out there and feel what it\222s like to walk on water.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Super Fun for Beginners

I have to start by saying that I tried the standup paddle thing for the first time last summer on some of the reservoirs around Park City. Even as a total beginner, it was very easy to stand and stay standing on the Nalu. Super stable, if handles more like a sit-on-top than a pure standup board but it was much more fun to be up. The width and draft provide stability while the relatively short length helps to keep things agile enough to steer easily during put-ins, take-outs, and marshy inlets. One bummer is how heavy it is for its size. Though manageable, it was a bit clumsy for me to get it from the roof rack to the water. One HUGE benefit is the price and durability vs a true SUP board. The Nalu can be treated roughly without anyone having to worry about damaging the board/boat and they come in at roughly 1/2 the price of a surfboard style SUP board. All in all, the Nalu ends up being a fun, versatile, and durable piece of gear that you'll get years out of.

How do you sit on this thing? I'm generally just interested in standing up like I've done on normal SUP boards I've tried (but can't necessarily afford). This seems to be a good hybrid despite the slightly heavier weight. though it doesn't seem to have a "seat" per se, though the description suggests you can just sit down (can't tell where) and paddle yourself like any little ocean kayak.

Not to mention, say you do get tired and decide to sit, how in the world do you paddle with the long SUP paddle?!

Oh, and it's super easy to negotiate wakes coming off any passing boats. No beer spilled!
