14 Ft. Paddle Surf Hawaii Ocean - Hull Paddler


Cronulla Standup Paddleboard Shop & School coaches test rode the 14 Ft. PSH Ocean Hull Paddler the other day what a great board . Flat water , bay waves & small ocean waves the 14 Ft. was put to the test and performed well in all , both forgiving and easy to turn for its length we had alot fun riding it ! Thanks to the fellas at Balmoral Paddle Surf , PSH & Jody for the video cut ! Cant wait to test ride it in a downwind stay tuned for more videos !

I have waited until I had a few opportunities to paddle the PSH 14' before I provided some feedback.

I have ridden it 3 times now.

- Waist high waves
- Full chest to head high surf
- Pretty full waist high rollers

In each case I paddled about 1km to the reefs near home.

I actually bought the thing to do some downwind paddling and to let me access a few really full rolling waves where I can go and ride a few on my own. (Unless someone else buys a 14') It actually turns quite well for something that is 14' long. While the board obviously has it's limitations in the surf, it fits the bill for me perfectly for those conditions. (My other board is a PSH Gun Ripper)

I have tried a 10.5" Classic FCS fin and the PSH fin (About 7.5") The FCS was probably too big but the board tracked really well in a straight line, the PSH fin did not track quite so well but made the board heaps easier to spin around in the surf etc. So probably somehting in between would be good...? (Or just change fins)

I have not done any downwind paddling on it yet but I have paddled through some pretty choppy water conditions and it seems to handle those conditions fine. Particularly now that I am familiar with how it handles.

My feedback would be that it is just 'Bloody Great Fun'...!
