Mega BOOST / Review by Luis Pedro Abreu, kayaksurf.net editor

First of all, please, read these lines as the opinion of a regular surfkayaker. I surf with Mega boats a long time ago and, the last one - Reflex - was one of my favourites. I had it for three years but, when I first saw this Boost... my curiosity increased. I always liked "small", fast and manoeuvrable kayaks and this Boost, fitted perfectly on these features. My Boost arrived this week and I surfed it yesterday and... my friends... was a BLAST!! I never surfed something so fast. The low rocker, the small tail and the light weight ( X-Tech) made all the difference. Manoeuvrable as Reflex, but with much more speed. And an extraordinary comfort! Of course that when I see Chris, Sam, Jonny or Dessie surfing the Boost and making all those aerials and outrageous manoeuvres, that comforts me... like in football, we like to have the same gear of the real champions ;) And the Boost... is really a champ surfkayak.

SUP / Fletcher Burton creeking with a SUP... huge!!

SUP + Creek? Fletcher Burton diz que sim ;)



Há tempos publicámos umas fotos fantásticas onde Luke Hopkins (já entrevistado por nós), se lançava num creek não com um kayak mas sim... com uma pranha de SUP (Stand Up Paddle). E a moda parece ter pegado! O californiano Fletcher Burton, habitual bolaborador do kayaksurf.net, também anda metido nestas andanças com pranchas e quedas de água. Enviou-nos esta foto com a seguinte legenda "This is picture of what I've been doing a lot of". Impressionante...

A few weeks ago we published some great photos where Luke Hopkins was doing some creek, not with a kayak, but yes with a... SUP (Stand-Up-Paddle). Now, Flether Burton, usual collaborator of kayaksurf.net, sent us this incredible photo with the tag "This is picture of what I've been doing a lot of". Beautiful landscape, great falls and Fletcher with is SUP. Incredible...
