Been missing your clips old fella. Great stuff..
Thanks Shane!
I have a bunch more ready to drop.
We all have been waiting for your videos,
Thanks for sharing,
Tell us about the the Ghost SUP, show the board off and wear can we get one.
IF we get a board like that do we automatic surf like you?
.
Thanks Lynn, I appreciate your support!
The Ghost is my new design for Sunova, here is a link to my video on it:

If you are located in the US, you can order one through me if you like
Please email me for info, or where to buy if you live outside the US

And yes... as you will see in the video, it has features that help everyone surf better!
What paddle do you use or recommend? I'm 170 lbs but really strong for that weight.
Nice video thank you, what size paddle blade do you use? Thank you
Thanks Aussiert, I use a GenRation S81
6.5" blade width, very narrow, stiff shaft
The narrow blade is easy on the shoulders and back, even with the stiff shaft.
This width paddle really increased my cadence and I get up to speed much quicker.
Much easier to catch waves
@@rickweeks that’s awesome thank you so much
@@rickweeks I am looking for a paddle size to catch more waves 😁 aren’t we all but I have had the same paddle for many years which is a Naish Carbon Plus 85 blade which I am not sure what that translates to.
The lets look a lot better Rick👍🏼
Correct Victory... north swell, so lefts got the not that day!!
Nice to see you back Rick. The dolfins 6:57 take me back to the mid 90’s. Me and a friend were surfing on Rottnest Island in Australia. A pod of dolphins swam with us for about 15 minutes, good times. Don’t leave it too long for your next video. 👍🏻👊🏻
Hi Marcel... Rottnest, whoa, that's a heavy place!
Must have been epic!
More vids ready to drop... they will come more quickly now.
I was waiting for your video
thank you
Welcome back
More coming soon Ej, thanks for your support!
Nice Rick I love your vids been missing your content. Nice rustic looking board you've still got it big fella! 🤙
Thanks Chris, the board is my new design... absolutely stoked with this board.
Sunova did a great job with the black tint highlighting the woodgrain
Rick, I’ve looked at a lot of your videos and they are amazing. I’d like to ask what your actual home break is these days. I live in Maui and ride a Jimmy Lewis Hanalei. I am 6’1” and 188lbs. This board allows me to ride in waves as small as 1 foot high. Anyhow, great what you have come up with!
Hi Pixel, my home break is always Cape Cod, even when I am in Florida all winter.(this video is in Florida)
On Cape Cod, our sandbars are special at producing good waves from minimal swell and prevailing wind is offshore!
The breaks are protected by a large number of Great Whites hunting inside the surf zone, which keeps the crowds down most of the time.
The Ghost is exceptional at maximizing potential in small to medium surf!
Great video as always Rick! Can I ask where you had mounted the camera? Was it on your chest or head?
Thanks Daniele!
Mounted on the Stiff brim of a Trucker Cap with full chin strap
I designed this mount years ago and made a video about it.
The only cam I use is an old Hero Sessions5 (tiny and perfect for a hat mount) I highly suggest finding a used one!
In this video, the cam was actually set up with a more "Right Bias" that day because I forgot to adjust it for the mostly left break, so it missed much of the shoulder on the lefts.
Hat info in the video is no longer accurate anymore because Da Kine does not make a stiff brim Trucker cap any longer.
My old hat is wearing out and thus, too much shaking in the video.
I am ordering an FCS "Surf Trucker Wet Cap" with stiff brim. I hope it will handle the cam as well as the old Da Kine!!

Thanks @rickweeks ! That sounds like a nice gadget to have...I'll have a look at the other video now :-)
Love watching your vids 😊 Shaka brother 🤙
I appreciate the positive feedback! Peace
looking good buddy. we have lost a lot of bluff lately, looks like the V.I.P. house is slated for demo.
Thanks Matt!
Wow, a big piece of Watergate history is leaving the stage!
Hang tight!
Great video Rick hope your well.
Very well Beav, thanks for asking!!
Great style Rick!! Post more video !
Thanks Max... I am working on more as we speak. Dropping soon!
I’m glad to see you posting again, Rick. But I am very amused by all of the Florida neoprene at those temps. My last session on my Placid here in Maine was at 39 water temp and the air an unusually warm 35. I suspect that Florida now is like New England summer. Thanks for keeping the sup stoke alive and for providing a glimpse of your beautiful winter location.
Hi John, glad you are enjoying your Placid!
I did get sidelined this fall with an eye operation, so out of the water for a while. All good now!
More videos in the pipe, they will start to drop with regularity!
I do not miss the extreme cold... except for flatwater paddling.
I do love those days in the teens with zero wind, when the estuaries are still and serene. Wildlife slows down and being on the water is soulful
Florida here, but spent summers in Maine back in the day. The water here in FL never gets close to NE temps. Coolest is maybe low 70s. I remember 90 degree days in Maine with a packed beach but only a handful of people in the water because the ocean temp never got higher than the mid fifties. The air temp might be a bit cool here in FL, but these guys will never have to deal with cold water 🤣
@@jimmyfun22 I was "lucky" to start surfing in the mid 60's when there was no thought to wetsuits at all, you just accepted the cold water as part of surfing.
Accepting that surfing came with a degree of discomfort has stuck with me for life.
I can pull a frozen wetsuit out of a trunk and put it on standing outside in a 15* snowstorm and not even blink.
The world is just now beginning to understand the benefits of Ice Baths. We were ahead of the game 😄
Welcome back Rick. So good to see you in the water again!
Thanks Mike, it's great to be back at it!
Miss your videos my friend ! Cheers !!!
Thanks Old Skull! I'll make more 😄
Looks like a fun day!! Nice job Rick!
Thanks Dave, it was awesome to finally have pure glass and swell on a sunny day!
Muy buen video Rick. El mar estaba ideal para hacer SUP. Hermoso lugar. Saludos desde Mar del Plata.
Gracias Mauro, se agradece mucho tu comentario!. Revisé Mar del Plata en Google Maps... ¡un lugar genial! Vi muchos SUP en Waikiki Point... ¡yewwwwww!
@@rickweeksMe alegro que te guste mi ciudad! Saludos!!
Se extrañaban tus videos Rick!
Gracias Federico, agradezco tu caricia y apoyo!
Glad to see you are back in town.
Hi Jared, great to be back! Let's get together soon!
So good to see you back !
Thank you so much azzanaki!! Good to be back 😄
Welcome back! Hope you surfed sooooo much that you didn’t have time to edit! 🤙
ha ha... thanks Rich, but nothing so fun, but actually pretty cool as it turned out.
I actually lost sight in my left eye and then it was perfectly corrected by an amazing Eye Surgeon 👀
I had to stay out of the water for a while this Fall, then I migrated south for the winter.
Back at it, having a blast so more vids dropping soon!!!
@@rickweeks I’m happy to know that the surgery was a success, that’s a wonderful news! looking forward to the new videos then 🤙
I just sent an email to you
Rick's back, rippin'.🤙
Wow, thanks loop, that is very kind!
Same comments than the guys below...your videos been too rare my friend...Funny i used to have a house in cocoa beach...descent waves...
Hi AP, thanks my friend, I had eye surgery in September when I lost sight in my left eye, all good now but I was out of the water until just before I headed south. More videos coming soon!!
Rick love your vides . Glad To see you back ripping . You inspire me so much Rick . And I love the fact you put the board info and your weight to show that us stocky guys can still use a 9footer .
That board is beautiful, wish we could get them easier here in the uk . Thanks bud 🤙🏽
Thanks for the feedback Harty!
You can order direct from the factory and have it shipped to you!

Nice Creek! How long are you down for?
Hi Mike, thanks buddy!
I am in Florida until somewhere around Memorial Day.
If you’re down here, we should get together!
Beautiful day! I'll be in St. Augustine at the end of the month!🌞🌊
@@PLsupsurf Thanks tx.... St. A is a very cool town!
@@rickweeks Jersey is calling for 58* on Saturday!!🌞🕶👙
@@PLsupsurf Yewwwww! There is hope 🤗
Hey Rick.. good to see you back. I tried to contact some time ago to see if you were ok. Enjoy
Hi John, it was great talking SUP with you!
I hope you ended up with a board the suits you!
Apologies, I must have missed the latest contact... thanks for checking in on me!
Yup, alive and well 😄
That's some lovely glassy waves there! And greta to see you r videos again! All we get is choppy storm mess here on the south coast UK..... Any recommendations for a board that works well in windy choppy waters? I'm 100kgs. Sunovas are hard to get here and I'm struggling a little on choppy days on my 9.2 Allwave 2023
Thanks Luke, it was super fun!
I am actually finishing up an article for TotalSUP about the board in the video... Sunova Ghost.
It is my latest design, with the focus being maximum performance in a user friendly shape.
Super stable, fast and is amazingly agile in bigger sizes.
I have been riding my Ghost 9'6 a lot lately in Florida onshore conditions. (9'6 x 34 at172 liters)
Here's a link to my video about the Ghost that describes the board and purpose in detail.
ua-cam.com/video/t3i5Ws1zVDs/v-deo.html
I would be happy to discuss your specific needs if you would email me at:
supthecreek@gmail.com
@@rickweeks Would love a Ghost but there's basically no Sunova dealers here in the UK, and the ones there are have almost no stock and unwilling to get anything in at a reasonable price... Shame as sup surfing is popular here!!
@@1uke4eva There were some Sunova dealers in the UK
Try
SUP Hut on Francis Street in Swansea.
If not, you can order direct from Sunova Website and they will ship to you direct.
All Ghosts are being shipped direct at the moment because the have only recently gone into production.
Please tell them "Creek sent you!"
If you have any issues getting connected, email me at:

Thank you for taking us with you Rick!
Hi Ben, I much appreciate your support!
Another good one Rick !
You are having a UA-cam morning Todd!
Thanks again.... hopefully we'll run into one another again some day!
@@rickweeks I'd enjoy joining you for a chat one day soon. Living inland since 1990 I rarely get to the beach. My 7+ surfboards are so dusty from hanging from the basement ceiling. I surf vicariously through you. Thank you my friend.
@@toddcwalker4208 Any time you are near the Cape, please let me know, and I'll reach out if I go North (I believe you live up there somewhere!)
@@rickweeks I've been in Frederick MD (45 miles NW of DC) since 1990. I get to the Cape about once a year to visit my younger brother. I occasionally get down to FL to visit Robin Fleming and Cleve Bigelow.
@@toddcwalker4208 ha ha, guess I am out of touch, I thought you were in Maine.
I talk to Robin on occasion and Cleve.
