The reason why this is such a great video is because the raft is right along side videoing the run. You can see a lot of detail in the clip.

What kind of load will out paddle board handle.

The draft of our ISUP can be computer modeled by making the whole thing solid, then changing the material to Water. Using Archimedes’ Principal, the water displaced by the flotation is equal to the weight on top of the unit. So we use the surface of the water as our point of displacement. If we erase everything above the surface, then we have the weight of the water under the surface that is displaced. Viola! The draft is calculated. Then we give a visual so you can actually see what it means. So at 503 lbs. the board will draft 4.5 inches, leaving 1.5 inches above the surface.

The latest ISUP design, and the design history

I think this design is going to make a very nice river board. We have compared this new design to the old design so you can make up your mind. Please let us know if you thing this design idea does not fit reality. I like it.

This design change came about as a result of a great success with the little mosquito floor, and how that shape worked. Here are the design changes we thought we would try to make work.

First I thought that more flat surface on the water is what customers want for stability. So we increased the flat area by 12 inches, and this makes the front curve up quicker.

We also wanted to see if we could get an effectively pointier tip. I think that this was successful.

This immage compares the shape of the ends for pointyness. Even though the orange one has a flat section on the end instead of a curve, it looks like it will pierce a wave easier.

Comparing curvature between 2014 and 2015 models

The orange unit starts its curve 12 inches closer to the tip. Note how the Purple one starts back where the black seam tape is.

There is a quicker curve in the end as a result, and more flat area to stand on, for more stability.

We put one on top of the other to show a comparison of the end shapes.

I hope to get some good feed back at the next trade show, and I am asking some of our customers what they think too.

Are you curious how inflatable stand up paddle boards stay flat?

We have discovered that most dealers and customers have never seen what makes the shape. There are thousands of polyester threads that are woven between the top and bottom layer. Orininally this structure was designed to stiffen Jet aircraft wings.

We use the best quality drop stitch available. It even has triangulated threads. It is quite amazing that we can actually make this stuff bend with the right side pannel grometry. We thought you would like to know what is inside of your board.

Just in from leafield valves:

This only works if the board has leafield valves. I believe that includes NRS and JPW.

There is a spring in the adapter that pushes the poppet open, and that allows you to take air pressure readings with a tire gauge, and fill it up the rest of the way at the gas station.

Here at jpw we do not recommend inflating a 6 inch board past 20 lb., and 16 will give you plenty of stiffness. Btw we did a destruction test years ago, and it was 53 psi when it exploded and it did not ruin the drop stitch, but blew a rip in the side wall, and not on a seam either.

This board is made in the USA right here in Aztec, NM, With a 5 year Warranty that you can collect on, but probably will not have to. We use an all welded construction In the air holding chamber, and that means there will be no glue failures. For the side wall, we use the best 32 oz PVC coated Polyester fabric available anywhere in the world. This fabric and Drop stitch both have the best coating adheasion and air retention of any fabric we have ever used in our 30 years of product experience. The drop stitch fabric itself is woven in a triangular weave for even more strength per weight. Leafield valves, the standard for the rafting industry, are located in the side wall, not in the middle of the drop stitch. We use NRS removable fins, to make the system more transportable. We include a durable carry bag to protect your SUP when it is in transport. The total weight is 25 lbs

If you are wondering how much flotation, this board has, I have included some pics from our mexico trip in 2015. Looks like a lot of fun!

Dec 20 2013 Webster goes to Mexico

Taking a 28 lb board to mexico is not going to be a problem. I took webster, because this board is still the test board of choice. The webbing on the side enabled me to tie a Beach chair down on the top, and we took a cruise out to the Island. The ocean was very calm, and the paddling was super easy. it tracks well, and glides along guite nicely. The only problem we had was the arms on the chair. For a relaxing ride in the sun, it was just wonderful.

I am considering the use of d rings mounted on the side for just this seat purpose.

Then I found a chair that did not have arms, and used it.

We wanted to see just how well it would work with 2 chairs on, so we did.

We recomend paddling on opposite sides and being in step. the chairs put some top heavieness into the system.

By the way.... Stability is how Webster defines inflatable stand up paddle boarding!

Need us to do a repair on your glued SUP and turn it into a welded one?

More info on our 4 inch sup. These first ones have eva foam for anti skid.

We are planning to go to the mesh for the top. If we sell more 4 inch thick boards.

Sup technology is used to make better Self Bailing Whitewater rafts.
