Bill Foote SUP's

Highly respected North Shore shaper Bill Foote (1971), personally delivered a couple dozen of his extremely popular 11' x 28" and 11' x 30" SUP's to our shop
yesterday...

Yu Sumitomo, son of the factory owner, accompanied him...

The Sumitomo factory is recognized as only producing boards with premium quality...right down to the origami paper they are wrapped in to eliminate
swirl marks from the bubble wrap...

The boards in this delivery are sporting carbon reinforced hand holds, premium pads, double leash plugs, and fin sets that work right out of the box...
not to mention, the eye-popping finish work...all for $1399...

Pictured below is my personal 11/30 Foote (Thunderbird green) with integrated stomp pad...

We didn't even have a chance to get these beauties stowed away before standup paddle enthusiasts descended on our shop and began opening their early
Christmas presents...;-)

Doug from Oxnard scored this puppy below...his grom son is getting a new SUP as well...

Not to worry...we've got plenty more
Bill Foote standup paddle boards in stock...our SUP supply is more plentiful than anyone's...we have plenty more Foote SUP's in Thunderbird green...
Coral red...& Yum yum yellow...

In addition to having over 80 SUP's currently in stock, and 90 more on the way in the next couple of weeks...of course, paddles are never in short supply
at our shop...even, the extremely popular new Werner Carve and Advantage ($219)...details here...
