Thanks for the video. I just took out my sorento 11.3 out yesterday for the 2nd time. Its a great board. I owned or tried about 10 other name brand ISUPS and this is my favorite. It is light to carry and glides the best of others I tried. I am 165 pounds and this might be my do everything board except for surfing. I will fish from it and I may concider doing my 1st SUP over night with it. Reuben I agree that Honu should have considerd back bungies. I may be able to rig something up. I… Read more »
Thanks for your feedback Cam. Glad you are loving the board. I think the stringers would of made it stiffer again but they would add more weight on the board for certain also. So its one of those compromise. Im looking forward to hearing about your first overnighter with it.
I am curious Reuben, How much weight would the stringers add ? One thing I love about this board now is how light it weighs I think I weighed mine at 19 pounds. I need to weigh it again. I think that the lighter my ISUP is the less sticky it is in the water.Also, Its interesting that they did not add a speed tale. I really need to force myself to do an overnight. Also, I think its time for your 2nd solo trip 🙂 The Honu 11.3 reminds me of your Red Sport 11
Hey Cam , I will have to ask Honu what they think the over weight would be to have the stringer on the Sorrento. Also it will put the cost up quite abit I think aswell. Its always hard for brands to work out what most paddlers want on average, Weight , stiffness and over cost??
Yes we both need to get back on the water and do an overnighter.
I do understand why some paddlers prefer (need?) inflatables (storage, transport, rocks), but I don’t understand the benefits of a shorter board. They don’t glide better and their slower. Can someone explain?
Hey Jeff, you are correct longer is always faster and will offer you more glide. But for many paddlers out there who are definitely lighter in their body weight they may not feel they need the extra length to make the board relatively as fast to paddle for their weight. Or they may wish to have a shorter board which is easier to move and transport around and even move around on the water over a longer board. Like with all equipment there are so many different people wanting it for different things. I know if his board was made… Read more »
