    Zach, he owns a rental company not a manufacturing company. It is SUP Adventures in Hilton Head. He sells boards also for Bote And Dragon Fly. We had Bote but they had some growing pains and now carry his dragon fly boards in our shop at Southern Drawl Outfitters.
    If you get any inflatable, make sure and get a good guage. You will think you can not put one more inch of air in there and you are only half way there.

    Hi Wayne,
    We have sold several in the shop for people to travel with. I will say, when fully pumped, it is hard as a rock, that being said, will it hold two people depends on the size of the two. Can you stand and cast, I would have to say yes. I have not done it but we have inflated them in the shop and there does not seem to be a reason why you can not. I believe there is a leaning post that goes on it also. I do have a good friend that has a SUP paddleboard business that would be more than happy to answer to any questions. Jonas Stephens. Hit him up on face book or let me know and I will get you his contact info.

    Nice job catching those fish, I can not believe that boga grips still exist. There is no need for them.

    you definitely will need some local knowledge, but I can give the highlights. the fish will be shallow on the low to avoid dolphins and to get warm and increase their metabolism to feed. You want a low tide in the mid afternoon to get the warmest part of the sun to warm the mud and fish. Fish very slow, almost dead stick the fly if they will not eat it. The fish are not shallow to feed, they are shallow to not be fed upon. You can find fish in the backs of creeks around oysters at mid tide, and they will be very shallow. They are very spooky when schooled up, so be very quiet and stalk them for a while before making the perfect cast.

    I agree, I listened to them while I trained and ran a half marathon. some people are motivated by the black eyed peas, me, pod casts on nautilus reels.

    Zach, I live in hilton head but about the same patterns. This is a tough time. they are in between patterns, moving off low tide schools and into the grass. You should be able to find isolated fish on the low tide flats and some floating fish up on the grass flats. If you find fish on the low tide and they do not eat, get the fly in front of them and dead stick it. There have been crabs up on the flat already, but this last cold front probably pushed them back down. Good. Luck.

    I spend most of my time on the platform putting people on fish. I have tried to kidnap a couple of fish for a picture but never worked out.
    Finally was able to spend a little time upfront myself.

    Glad you could get out. I went early as we discussed and could not get the reds to eat. Caught a couple of big lady fish, one was very large, and a flounder. The reds were very spooky. Nice just to be out there. Give me a shout when you head back this way and we can go chase some reds.
