It's official. I Love the "Nubster"!!
Recently Sean Mattison made me one of his "Nubster" fins for a center box. I suspected this would work well in a surf SUP with a quad set as most of these boards are wide in the tail. I was stoked to find out that it worked just like I thought. It takes out some of the slip that I had with a quad setup without making the board too tracky. It made surfing off the tail much more positive and gave the board the drive of a tri fin and kept the speed of a quad.
Kelly Slater has been rocking this in the last few comps and gained a perfect "10" in New York with this fin! He calls it the Guitar Pick.
Stay tuned for more info on this amazing little NUB.....

Field report from Anthony Vela. 10/5/11
The following week was the Hennessey's World Championships in Hermosa Beach, CA. I was 4th in the prestigious 14' class. The next day was a unique event called the Surf Race to Victory in Huntington Beach, CA. The event featured heats of 10 paddlers racing through a course that went in and out of the surf three times. It was an elite field with participants preparing for the Battle of the Paddle the following weekend. There was a surfboard division and an elite division for prize money. I won the surfboard division, then followed it up with winning the elite division. The field was tough featuring 2 past Battle of the Paddle winners, 3 australians, and 3 Top 10 Battle of the Paddle finishers. In an exciting finish I finished ahead of the legendary Jamie Mitchell.
I enjoyed the new Battle of the Paddle format with heats and finals. Placing 18th in the elite race turned out to be a challenge. There were so many fast paddlers that I was pleased with the finish. I also placed 6th overall in the 14' division of the Distance Race (10 miles). It was an exciting distance race with 4 of us jumping off our boards at the same time racing up the beach for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. Unfortunately for me I was the slowest up the beach, but stoked with the finish.
Finishing off the month I entered the Stand Up World Tour of surfing Trials in Huntington Beach. 64 trialists were surfing for 8 spots into the main event. In only my 3rd SUP surf contest ever I made my way through 4 heats into the semi-finals of the trials, and making it to the main event. Although I was knocked out in the first round of the main event, I was excited to surf Huntington Pier in the first ever World Tour event on the Mainland.

Boardworks East Coast Team rider, Doug Ellis, does well in his first ever Cal race!
East coast Boardworks team member, Doug Ellis, came to Cal for the Hennessey's finals and Battle of the Paddle. Doug qualified for the Hennessey's finals in the 14' class by winning the Dominion River Rock race this summer. He took a respectable 13th on a production 14' M&M at the Hennessey's finishing around the likes of Alfredo Stalla, Ernie Johnson, Dan Gavere, Jay Wild to name a few.
He has been successful in many races on the east coast and we are excited to have him here to further his experience in SUP racing. As well as being a great waterman and racer, Doug is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet!
Good luck Doug!!
