WE DON’T JUST MAKE PADDLE BOARDS, WE MAKE PADDLEBOARDERS

Each wave ridden, each lake explored and each river to have as much fun as possible on the water. We have built conquered tells a fun story. We at Imagine Surf are lucky a bunch of things to help everybody to experience and enjoy enough to be part of that wave, lake and river. We are lucky this great sport and lifestyle we call paddle boarding. We do enough to be part of that story. Simply put, we make things not measure ourselves by the size of our line or the complexity that help write the story. But these are not anything kind of or variety of these things we build, but by how much fun these things. These are good things. These are things dreamed things are to use and how many people we can introduce this up by the human mind and handcrafted by the human hand fun lifestyle to. This is the reason we say we don’t just make whose sole purpose is to have fun. At Imagine, we can’t think paddle boards, we make paddleboarders. We hope to see of a better reason to design, test and build things if not to have you on the water. fun. For 2014, we present a bunch of things that will allow you “It is important to me to team up with a company that shares my philosophy, ethics, and authenticity...”

We have a saying around the water cooler at Imagine. How can big wave tow sur ng, and stand up paddleboarding. Designing you trust your equipment if your designer doesn’t know how to use his own equipment in each of these disciplines has given Dave a the products they design? Fortunately for us, our head designer wealth of experience that is built into each product Imagine makes. also happens to be the guy who helped start it all. Dave Kalama If you are ever fortunate enough to attend one of Dave’s Kalama certainly needs no introduction, but for those who may not be Kamps, you will have the chance to rub shoulders with one of our aware, he reintroduced stand up paddleboarding to the masses in sports true legends, and witness the level of expertise, information the mid 90’s with good friend Laird. Dave is a Hawaiian waterman and passion he brings to the world of standup paddleboarding who comes from a lineage of sur ng and paddling champions. He and Imagine Surf. has been at the start of it all- professional windsur ng, pioneering BOARD TECHNOLOGY

For 2014 we have three board construction technology options all designed to deliver maximum fun for your SUP needs- Epoxy, Plastic and In atable. You may be asking yourself “How do I know which kind of technology would be right for me?” It all depends on where you will be using your board, what you will be using your board for, and lets face it, how much money you have to spend on a board.

EPOXY TECHNOLOGY Epoxy started it all. This technology comes from the surf industry and consists of light foam shapes wrapped with mixtures of berglass cloth, wood veneers and epoxy resin. This is technology perfected by surfboard builders and brought to stand up paddling. Epoxy boards are light, sti , and great performers, but are less durable than plastic or in atable boards. As each board takes over 20 hours to build and materials are not cheap, they tend to be more expensive than plastic or in atable varieties. Each epoxy model is built slightly di erent according to intended use. Check out these construction methods in the following pages.

PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY Our plastic boards are extremely durable, perform great and have great out tting features in an a ordable price range. They are hollow boards constructed similar to a plastic kayak, and tend to be heavier than epoxy or in atable boards. There is a reason that plastic is the number one material for all kayaks on the water- it paddles great and withstands years of use at a great price. Our plastic boards are made using a complex blow molding process that allows us to use 20% post consumer recycled content and form a 100% recyclable product. We like this, and so does the ocean.

INFLATABLE TECHNOLOGY Our in atable boards are light, durable, portable and are gaining popularity at an accelerated rate. They cost more than a plastic board and t in just below an epoxy board. We use a technology called drop stitch where hundreds of thousands of threads connect the deck to the bottom of the board. This allows the boards to be pumped up to 19 psi making them extremely sti for an in atable product. If you have concerns about durability, weight, storage or travel logistics, our in atable boards are the answer. They even come in a transportable backpack! 2014 EPOXY Lineup
