Badfish SUP

Badfish Boards, progressive stand up paddleboards for wherever stand up paddling might take you.

Based in Salida, Colorado, Badfish SUP is a partnership between shaper and designer Zack Hughes and whitewater park designer Mike Harvey. We make SUP boards for whitewater rivers, flatwater and the ocean, with a mountain flavor. Our boards are designed to be stable for beginners and ripable for experts.

💝 Happy 4th Birthday, Willow! 🎂
 
After Kona I decided I wasn’t whole without a girl dog in my life. When I decided to bring Willow home, I had no idea that I was going to become a mom a short time after. And even though Willow’s temperament isn’t as perfect as Kona’s and Riley’s, I’m glad I have her. She’s always close by, her brown eyes offering comfort in trying moments. She’s easy to teach and loves to work, I’ve put more titles on her than any other dog I’ve had. She’s a demo dog, rat hunter, trick master, fitness queen, and she can navigate an agility course! She rides on the nose of my board and shares my attention with Wolf. Together we’re learning as I grow as a mom and a trainer. Thanks for being so versatile and adaptable, my little boss chick!
