Dugout all-water Race Board review SIC Atlantis, Starboard Allstar, and Infinity SUP Blackfish

[@donovannfite5317]

So thankful to Mikes Paddle Shop. I’m not even in California and they have gone out of there way to help me find a specific race board to help me reach my goal. So grateful for the shared experience and time they have given me ❤️. Thanks Mike! You make me want to move back to Cali.

I’d love to try that blackfish sometime! Mike’s is the best! Great job Levi

The Atlantis looks SICk.

Great video. The Atlantis is amazing board. I had the opportunity to try the 14' x 24". Incredibly stable.

[@mikespaddle]

We're impressed so far it's our favorite for the Bay Area downwinding!

Hey, im about to order an Atlantis 14x24. Don't have the chance to try it before buying, so i wanted to know a bit more about it's flat water and upwind capabilities. Mostly will be ridden in mild conditions. I already own a SIC RS 14X26. Thanks.

@Mike's Paddle unfortunately i live waaaayy too far to come by and have a look. If you can get back to me with your feedback it would be highly appreciated. Im surprised a board like this, is how hard to find. Limited reviews as well, so just wanted to be sure before i get it. Thanks in advance.

@@sotirispanteli1865 I don't the youtube comments section is the best place to help you out, but if you send me a text 415-704-6176 or email [e-mail] I can help you out. They are sold out for 2021 so you have plenty of time to make a decision.

Nice review. Thanks.

[@mikespaddle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@climbjay]

Atlantis looks awesome

[@eveanddell]

Great video- what do you think is the one quiver killer of these? The Blackfish?

[@mikespaddle]

It really depends on where you are paddling. If you paddle primarily on the bay or the coast than the is a great option. Feel free to give us a call if you'd like more help www.mikespaddle.com/pages/contact-us-1

What is the width of the Blackfish shown in the video?

[@mikespaddle]

Hi Kristopher , the blackfish in this video was 14x27.5"

[@JonnyTwofifty]

I dont think that is the 2021 Allstar - it has much more dug out than that (mine does anyway).

[@mikespaddle]

You are correct it's a 2020 Allstar (we didn't have a 2021 at the time of filming and we wanted to get this video out in time for our downwind season).

I cannot understand why many brands sell their high perfomance boards with such a dirty look. Why cannot they have a nice color and what's this stupid fashion to see the carbon under?

[@levithewizard]

Hi I'm the guy in the video. A full layer of primer, paint, and and clear coat adds lot of weight on a 14' board. We all know weight is a big selling factor with race board so they try to add as little as possible. It's not good to NOT paint a carbon board just to save lbs as the paint protects the carbon from UV damage. So the thin matte finish is a compromise between weight and protection. Hope that sheds some light on the "distressed paint" trend.
