So…. one thing leads to another, and HA!…..a 67 year old guy, gets called off the bench, to do an East Coast run with a great SUP company!
My quest for a Sunova Speeed led me directly to the factory last spring…. it was the only way to get one at that time.
I was so stoked about the board that my vids and posts got Sunova’s attention.
I have been friends on FB with all the Sunova freaks all over the world… and we are a pretty stoked bunch.
Who am I kidding… it’s more like a cult!
Sunova SUPsters, know how amazing these boards are!!!!
Bert Burger and Martin Jandke (owners of Sunova) are in the trenches with all the "Sunova Stokers”…. just a couple of crazed surf rats themselves.
Martin built and runs the factory in Thailand where Sunova’s are made.
Bert shapes the magic and is head test rider.
About a month ago, Martin aka ”Tino” emailed me a question:
"Do you want to join me on a trip down the Eat Coast, visiting shops, demoing boards?”
Heck yeah!!!!! Sign me up!
So here I am, in the game… thanks coach!
Martin & I will be making a 7 day run from Maine to Florida starting Thursday, Dec 3.
If you are interested in seeing some new Sunova’s…. maybe demoing…. if we have the time….
PM me… I’ll see if we can work out a few “Zoner” sessions… it would be cool to meet more of you!
