This board is 5' 7" long x 3 1/4"
thick. It is long and thick enough to hold most people in
a tandem configuration and makes it easy for both people
to paddle. It is made extremely stiff and strong in the Kenu tradition and is built to last with a special grippy
durable vinyl top and my super strong bottom plastic. The
front of the board has an upward "kick" in the nose for
less of a chance of "pearl diving."
Note the innovative deep side
grooves, the Kenu belly concave, and the bottom rear
channels for maximum turning control .
The belly concave helps the rescuers
belly stay centered for maximum control and comfort. The
deep and wide side rail grooves are incredible for keeping
your victim's elbows, knees, hands, and feet locked in
where you want them to be-out of your way! The
grooves make it real easy and secure to grab the board
when you come racing in on a wave- you don't want to lose
control.
The board is big, but not too big
that your average rescuer can't dunk it under a big wave.
The super strong handles in the front make it easy to
carry, pull under waves, and your victim can hold onto
them securely. Note the super strong thin doubled up blue
rope protruding under the nose (each 2600 lbs. tensile
strength). Attach your swim float or tow line to this with
confidence- it is double redundant- if one line breaks-
there is still the other. Also note the custom super
strong leg leash attachment. Face it- if you are paddling
out through big waves, can even Superman hold on to those
handles without getting his arm ripped off? Be smart, wear
a leg leash. Leave your hands free to help the victim
instead of trying to hold on to the board all the time in
the wind and the waves. Is this board something your
organization needs? Email for
best price. By the way, this board was made for our local
boyz lifesavers here in Hawaii- you may not want the skull
and crossed bones sticker on your rescue board- it will
usually only come with the big Kenu sticker.
Look for this rescue bodyboard and the
Kenu rescue sled- usually at Sandy Beach in Hawaii and now
on the North Shore and Makaha. |
