They look like C-Boats to me - who is going to bring one down to the Armada?

Wow, now that is something new...
Would be realy curious to try one out.
I am sure a good paddler can stand on that for pretty big waves and must be a lot of fun but as far as getting any speed/getting where you aim to go on the river I am not sure.
The design sure is cool... The step-on area with stoppers is a good idea. That thing must be such a challenge to drive!

What? Where the "hello" are the tie down points for the cooler?

I gotta admit that he made a strong sales pitch to c-1'ers with this whole paragraph:

Just when our interest was "drifting" toward low-volume mystery c-1's, now we have a chance to hop on a board and do it standing!Essentially, the board handled and paddled like a "short" C1 slalom boat. I reverted instantly to the same techniques that I used with a C1 slalom, and it was a joy to paddle. C1'ers will ahve an instant decided advantage, but pretty much any whitewater paddler will figure this out fast.

Oddly, I was watching a YouTube video on a SUP just the other night.... It would be great to see them side by side.

Good old Corran Addison, and his wave surf company, 2imagine. He's a real thinker.

isn't that called poling...
That's what I thought of at first too but then I don't quite think that was what Eli was doing during the downriver national sprint! But then he was using a full on open canoe while paddling that french broad!
I've seen Jeff S. stride Big Splat and other drops with ease but never had the guts to go give it a try myself! I guess I'll let others give this toy a go before I do as well!

Pretty cool
Now that's pretty slick.
I finally got around to making myself a SUP this fall as I'm close to Lake Michigan. It's fun paddling on our inland lake too...a good fun workout.
I too discovered that my canoeing strokes worked great on the board. I was thinking I would make a board for river use and seeing this makes me think I should.
I made my board with shallow double hollows and a slight vee in the stern. It looks like one can go quite radical with this concept for a riverboard. Might just be another winter project to throw in the mix
