While the Sorrento was winning awards against the best in the world, we were out of stock in Australia and unsure if we would even have a new Sorrento for the 2022 season. This was because of the complex rail construction we were trying to achieve and were still in the middle of testing mid-year.

SUP Boarder Mag Review - The Honu Fairlight We have released the Fairlight earlier this year and it has been receiving a lot of compliments from our customers! Recently SUPBOARDER made a review about the Honu Fairlight and we are thrilled to share with you what they have said!

During the winter months, we’ve been crazy busy working on a bunch of new things... new updates to our existing boards, new colors, and well, new boards...You read that right, one of the things we’ve been working hard on these past few months is the design and construction of our newest board, the Fairlight.

Different fin setup for SUP boards Fin setup is something we talk a lot about at Honu HQ. It's a confusing topic for many as surfing culture trends influence SUP design, wrongly or rightly. Which is better? Single fin, Twin Fin, Thruster or 1+2?

There are three main reasons that make 4.7" SUPs more superior than thicker SUPs: connection to the water, stability, and overall performance. We now have customers that sell or send back their reputable 6” board once they realize its weight and/or get it out on the water. Read more about why we make 4.7" boards here.

Have you ever wondered what exactly to pack for whenever you go SUP'ing? We've listed them down for you. Before you head out to the water, these are the SUP essentials to have ready with you.

If performance is your most important consideration, then a hardboard is for you--or at least that is what you'll often be told. But while this is correct in most instances, it isn't absolutely right. Even when you put aside all the distinct transport and storage advantages, inflatable SUPs perform better in some cases...

 

We are beyond humbled and excited for our Sorrento Touring board to have been selected as SUP Boarder Pro’s TEST WINNER 2021 in the Best Overnight Touring category!
