From the Editor: Stand Up Paddle Surfing Magazine Gear Outlet |

 We have officially launched
the Stand Up Paddle Surfing Magazine's Gear Outlet! It's been a long process of carefully putting
it together and we're ecstatic that it's finally here. I thought I’d take a few
minutes to describe why we’re so excited about it.
First off, the mission of
the Gear Outlet is “to provide a place where stand up paddlers can easily find
what they’re looking for, and to create a quick way for good companies to sell
their gear and contribute to the advancement of the sport.” It’s not to compete
with retailers or distributors but rather enhance their business and provide
guys like me, who are looking for the good stuff, a place to find some of it.

FINSIGHTS: Minimalist 2 + 1 Center Fins |

Looking for a quick way to immediately increase
the performance of your stand up paddle surfboard? Try a 5" or 6"
center fin along with your current side fin setup; it could be just the thing. The move to a
shorter center fin all started with SUPSURFMAG.COM's Bill Ward
searching for a way to loosen up his 10'6". He installed the fin and
claims the fin has breathed new life into his stand up paddle
longboard. Of course after that, we had to experiment with the fin on a
shorter board as well. These fins aren't real easy to find, but you
could get lucky at a well stocked surf shop and score one for yourself.
We ran a 6" center fin with medium rake on a both a 10'6" and a 9'4" in
medium small and medium surf, and this is our report.
