Probably the most significant breakthrough in SUP since the paddle was introduced. This extremely stable board at 34 inch provides support to keep on paddling through white water or other difficult conditions right away. It has reasonably good glide and it turns on a dime while paddling. The extra nose kick makes it possible to even catch white water waves with ease. The stability makes it a breeze to paddle into waves and get the surf. The BIG surprise is that this board rocks on a wave, it really turns and is fantastic wave board for most conditions, and surely the most versatile wave dedicated SUP board ever shaped.
