It is manufactured by Fins Unlimited, which makes fins for surfboards that fit in the Hi Life. I currently have one in mine because I wanted a smaller one for shallow sandbars. A surf shop may be able to assist you if you live near one. There may also be a website for them. Surf Source, a surfing supplier, carries fins of many different designs. Typically Hi Life fins are made of plastic, but may be made of fiberglass, which incurs a higher price. However, they must fit a Fins Unlimited template, which uses a horizontal metal bar at the fin base which slides down the channel on Hi Life fin boxes. There is also a vertical hole just in front of the front fin base for the set screw, which must be aligned with the In theory, any surfboard fin that fits in a Fins Unlimited fin box should fit in

Due to the elevated position, I am more comfortable paddling. These options are awesome! I love them. Place your feet on the ground, kneel, and I would recommend this to everyone!
A 3 piece paddle for kayaks/paddleboards from Perception was purchased for me. Great product, works like a charm

The two of these were bought for me and my wife just over a year ago. Our two of us were just complimenting each other on how much we love them, so I looked at my order to see how long we have There are a few things that I would have changed about the design in a perfect world. These issues are so minor that I can only pay attention to There is no comparison to the stability of the kayak. Kids and dogs have been on top and back of the row and I have been able to maintain a good row even with them bouncing In order to convert from surfboard paddles to SUP paddles, we purchased paddles that convert. It is my dream to stand up and paddle, but I am unable to do so because of lighter boards and bad weather. The board allows me to quickly transition from standing to sitting regardless of the weather condition. There is a fantastic level of stability. Fishing has been a pleasure for me both standing and sitting on this board. After a few extra connections, the rear deck is easily able to hold a cooler or milk crate when I need it (with enough room The board can be carried by me with a little difficulty for a good distance by myself. In most cases, it would be best if two people were carried from the car to the This can be done easily because of handles at the front and back. What was my motivation when I bought it? The colors and user-friendly interface caught my eye and I decided to go for it The ease of use of the platform would inspire my family to kayak instead of scuba diving. In fact, I had several of the cheapest kayaks I could find. Whenever we are together, everyone is talking about the next time we are going.
As a whole, the board is fantastic. I was able to get on and off the roof racks with no problems because of the size and weight. The flat area in front of the seat and behind the seat is ideal for standing, storing, or allowing pets a place to go. I was unfortunately very uncomfortable sitting on the elevated seat. When I used the paddle that came with it, I had to lean forward in order to reach the water. It was hard for me to paddle because I could see my knees getting in the way. It would have been nice if the seat had been on the same level as the board, so I could at least sit cross-legged. Nevertheless, that is why I returned it, and you can see from the photo what I mean about the seated position. I was upset to have to do so, as everything else about it appealed to me. I also found it uncomfortable to put my legs out straight for too long. It still took me a lot of effort to paddle forward. I am sorry for your loss.
It's nice that the paddles can be switched. The ability to turn the boat is an added benefit. Nevertheless, the rider of a SUP or paddler of a sit-on-top must compromise if he or she is an accomplished paddler. I found this board to be very stable as a SUP, and if you stay on lakes or flat water, it works well. SUP is a great sport to do in the ocean if you are like me. Waves or ground swells are not designed to be ridden with the b/b. It is impossible to change foot positions or move around on the deck (surfer stance). downside of the sit on top kayak is that due to its length, it does not track as straight as most kayaks do. It helps to have the SUP fin installed, but you can't go through shallow water with it. However, these are minor compromises, a few minor design changes for the Hi Life and it could be the perfect hybrid SUP/Sit on Top.
The stability of the program is very good. Despite the fact that she is very energetic, my dog tolerated it well. My money wasn't even close to being tipped Having a calm lake would be great for my dog to jump in and swim around, and then play with me over the top. Her life jacket handle is helping me help her up the side with her life jacket, since she still hasn't figured out how to use the back deck for climbing up. It is great to have gripper/traction decks- I really like the seat. I find it not only comfortable, but also not abrasive. Summer is going to be a breeze with this. I find it to be awkward to carry, but from what I understand, that is necessary for its It bothered me that the paddle made specifically for this was not made in a way I liked. Purchasing it separately will cost you an additional fee. It's also a.
For a fun day on the water, this is the perfect SUP or kayak. Featuring a large bouncy ball that's easy to handle and just right for us all, it's the right size for all of us. My favorite quality is that it is thick and sturdy. Standing up on the boat to cruise and get a better view of the lake is very stable. When you're kayak paddling, you'll feel comfortable sitting in it. The extra bungee straps up front and back are meant to hold down the items. If you plan on going on longer trips in rougher water, I would not recommend this kayak. Even if it could handle it, maneuvering through the waves would require twice as much effort as normal. The same type of use can be accomplished with other designs. A simple method of loading and unloading. I like the idea of having a dual paddle for a SUP and kayak. It was a great experience.
It is very heavy even with wheels even for a kayak SUP. The pros are Children can climb into it and sit on the back of it, so it's great for them. It is well balanced and is not tipping. This chair has storage underneath and is comfortable to sit in.
I'm so happy for you! I forgot it was here until my email told me that it was here. That is not awesome because the delivery required a signature, but it was left outside without a signature. The board also has three gouges, or possibly melted spots on the port-side. I paid a lot of money for this board, and I do not want to see it A RECENT UPDATE Changing to four stars from two The scratch and abrasion were both on my skin For the damage, there is a dent discount. Hopefully, we will be able to try it after this time.
