New Surftech SUPs at Granite Chief | The Perfect Ride for Everyone

Spring has sprung, as they say, and it’s time to get out and appreciate all that Tahoe has to offer in the spring and summer. While many, ourselves included, are still dreaming of corn runs and early groomer laps, for plenty of people spring means a time to get out and enjoy the water. No matter which camp you find yourself in, Granite Chief has the goods to satisfy your summer cravings.

When it comes to getting out on the water it’s hard not to appreciate the ease of stand-up paddleboarding. The Generator TEKEFX from Surftech is the poster-board for those looking for a day trip down the river or relaxing on the lake. The Generator brings together bamboo for durability and lightweight maneuverability with translucent and vibrant colors laminated into the board for a long-lasting, scratch-resistant graphic and finish.

For those looking to stray a bit further off the normal waterlines, look to the touring-prowess of the Saber. A natural wood core with uni-directional composite stringers give the Saber rigidity enough to confidently slice through chop and maintain speed for longer touring and multi-day efficiency.

Coming in a little more budget-friendly, at under $1,000, the Saber Blacktip brings us back to the realm of versatility. The Saber Blacktip features a full wrap hand lay-up of fiberglass for touring efficiency, with reinforced rails to protect from damage. A soft EVA foam deck pad ensures your feet stay comfortable whether you’re just out cruising around after work or scoping out hidden inlets on an all-day adventure.

Now, if you’re like many of us around the Tahoe area, perhaps your storage capacity leaves a little to be desired. In that case, you should definitely check out the Air Travel board from Surftech. The Air Travel features strategically placed handles and options to mount gear on the deck for easy touring, as well as foam deck pads for comfort and fin boxes for increased performance.

No matter what your paddling goals, ability, or style, Granite Chief has the board for you and helpful, knowledgeable staff to help you pick out the right option to make all your summer dreams come true.
