How SUP Customs Used LIVE's Catamaran Hull to Master Skinny Water - SUPCustoms.com
What I cover in this video
- I got three emails this morning asking the difference between an L4 and an L2.
- If you're going skiff, getting on plane and want that 700 lb capacity, go L4. If you're 120 lbs or a teenager, go L2 — the twelve-footer.
- Most skinny-water boats are tunnel hulls because you can raise the engine and still feed it water. That's how we run in two inches.
- The negative pitch of our plate is what gets us up on plane, and it eliminates about 80% of the cavitation.
- Then the cavitation plate and the cup props kill the rest, so the prop eats water instead of air bubbles.

And franchise is okay. Hey guys, David's SUP Customs here at the LIVE Watersports booth. Work side by side together. Obviously LIVE Watersports created the best paddle board in the world. Most stable fiberglass build, catamaran style. SUP Customs, we're the skiff dealer. So, if you want a skiff, you come to us. We're the only skiff dealer in the world because Austin and me is the one that created all the parts and manufacture all the parts on top. So, come check us out at the Atlanta booth. Wanted to kind of give you a run down of It's not every day we have all the boards together.
So, we have the L4 build here. People ask, I got three emails this morning asking about the difference of an L4 L2. If you're going to go skiff, get on plane, and have that 700-lb capacity. This is only 62 lbs, fiberglass build, and they all are. Go L4. If you're 120 lbs, if you're a teenager, if like I'm getting one of my kids on a board right now, they're going with the L2s, 12-footer. But this is going to be about twice as stable the L4. We don't have the front plate on today, but we do have the Dakota box that powers the whole board.
We have the micro pole, and our manufactured engine plate with a Tohatsu on it. We have the rugged road cooler down here that we love. And wanted to tell you the difference here of what separates us outside of a catamaran build and fiberglass. What allowed us to put an engine with a 15-in shaft on a 14-in engine plate. So, what it is, and you'll you'll learn this, we're basically a technical skiff. You'll learn this, and most guys already know that that's in the skinny world industry. A lot of your skinny skinny boats are tunnel hulls because we're you're able to lower the raise that engine up cuz you still got so much water coming through that you can get this this prop up so high that you can run extremely skinny.
So, if you ever see Austin he has his prop stuck in the mud and he jumps up on plane, how did he do that? How can we be on plane in 2 in? It's because we're able to capture all that water coming through to still feed our motor and we don't have that flat surface and that's how we're able to jump up and go. The negative pitch of our plate allows us to get up on plane. Eliminates about 80% of the cavitation and then we have the cavitation plate and we have the cup props that just eliminate all of that cavitation from all those air bubbles coming through and and causing your prop to skip.
So, that cup prop still allows that prop to to eat the water and not not not the the air. So, anyways, wanted to explain the tunnel hall, wanted to invite you out this weekend Thursday through Sunday to check us out at the Atlanta show. Wanted to show you the difference of the boards. It's not every day we get to pile them all like this in a really nice setting. So, come come see us and just message us if you have any questions. See you.
