Hi , first time to Bali trip happening in SEPT. Staying Canggu. Lookn to hire SUPs .Has anyone used Priority SUP boards, their Mutan Gemini range ?
Or do you have other suggestions ?
I have used their boards for 5 years in a row, each time I have travelled to Bali (they use to be called Bali Wave Hunter)
I ride to their shop, rent a board and paddle straight out front of their shop, out to Tora Tora (across from Airport Rights)
I do tend to rent bigger sized boards (10 to 10'6) as the paddle out to Tora Tora is nearly 1km out.
I've used various boards, not the model you mentioned, but they all have been good.
There are other places in Bali to rent, but I have found the guys at Priority SUP really nice to deal with

I Just used priority a few weeks ago. Very helpful and great range of boards.
i also tried the other crowd at sanur, rode a Jimmy Lewis 9.6, but surf was nowhere near as good and could not get a boat ride out To the reef.
here are my notes about Priority SUP - I tend to forget quickly.
Ben is owner and L2 SUP Instructor
Bronze medallion too
Chris is shop helper
both have great English and very keen to serve.
Have nice boat for dropping off at the airport reefs
Used an orange 9 x 29 x4 custom board, light and good when flat, approx 120l
Paddle was just over head high
Also used the Gemini Mutant flat nosed 9.5 x 31 x 4.5, heavier and slower to turn but much more float and stable 140 l approx
also have a 9.7 x 33 and even a 10ft
Rent was 100k per hour or 250k per day
Boat was 75k to drop and pickup
200k to drop sup off at hotel.
Carbon paddles were good - from China and $250 to replace.
Fibreglass blades with carbon shafts and handle
the reefs themselves worked better on a mid to high tide.
have fun, would definitely recommend them.
I was there 2 weeks ago and used the 8.5 mutant it rips ...... really nice people too and really cheap hire ..
They also had some jp surf s on the shelf ....
Also there paddles are pretty good and light ...
Only thing is a bit hard to get too em ..
Thank you for the feed back.
Flying out of Alice tomorrow after months in the desert.
So great to not have think about lugging a board around.
2 weeks of water time...............
Bighugg, I've used Jankie, and been happy with the service but am keen to see how you go here, for my next visit. Keep us posted.
I tried jankie last year .. Was still ok . Better boards at Priority tho but maybe jankie s updated ...
Also good fun waves at airports directly in front at priority
