What's a BOGA?

"Based in Northern California, BOGA Paddleboards was founded by a group of industry professionals with the goal of bringing to market a lighter, stronger more high-performance Stand Up Paddle Board at a cost approachable for the average consumer.  David Meyler, founder and president of BOGA Paddleboards came up with the name.  In Spanish the verb bogar is to paddle.  BOGA is also slang for hip and stylish in South America."

Check out my fast and fine-looking BOGA race board:




The raceboard is all carbon-fiber so it's very light.  I tested its stability at the Adler Paddler last week.  It was very stable, even with the chop, strong winds and rain.  I also enjoy surfing the BOGA 9'2" Bullet.  It's a super wide board so it makes for a fun little board to ride, especially for someone like me transitioning from my long 11' to shorter boards.  Make sure you check out the old school retro looks of their longboards at www.bogaboards.com

Watch out! The BOGA Team is already making its mark with Ben Sarazin placing second in the Men's Stock SUP Division at the Dana Ocean Challenge.
