I like my Sup’in logs heavy and, in fact, can’t ride a board less than 25 lbs. as a result, i’ve got a couple of them in the sub 20lb range gathering dust in the garage (and i’ve got a new custom board on its way to me that i think the shaper may have made too light, sigh, but that’s another story). then i got to wondering how could i add 5 or 6 or 7 lbs toa board that’s finished already? anyone here have any ideas?
i first want to test things and see if the weight addition makes a diff on the boards i have now. a friend suggested i buy some ankle weights and somehow temporarily afix them to the nose and tail. what do you think? i’m a little concerned about how the weight being located in two positions, for and aft, instead of throughout will impact things.
assuming i like what i feel, any easy way to put on some pounds more permanently?
(please, i beg of you, let’s not get into the whole pro-sup / anti-sup ordeal. i ride a SUP cause i love em and also because i have a disease that makse laydown surfing impossible [and it’s that same disease that makes it so necessary to have the extra stability that a weighty board offers]).
Thanks!
