NRS Baron 4 SUP Board

I am new to the SUP world, but took my NRS Baron 4 out for the first time and packed camping gear. Very stable and still able to maneuver. I am hooked. Pros Large size for packing gear yet still an easy paddle Cons Usage so far just touring on the lake.

I absolutely love this board! It's stable, light to transport, and my dog (border collie mix) has plenty of room to walk around me on it. This board was actually perfect to use with my dog. It's extremely durable and has a large area of gripping foam pad. I've actually had my dog and a golden retriever on the board with me at the same time and was still able to maneuver around. I've only used it on lakes with small waves so far but looking forward to using it on the river in a few weeks. Pros Easy to transport, stable, lightweight, durable Cons Nothing Usage Touring, exercise

I can honestly say that without this board, I may have never become a stand up paddler. I had tried two other boards in slightly ocean conditions and never stood for more than three seconds at a time. Then I got ahold of this board and put it down on a calm mountain lake. The thrill of finally standing was matched only by the burning of my metatarsal muscles and fibers which were over correcting 100 times per second. When I finally relaxed, I was in heaven. This board is extremely stable for even a big guy like me. Thank you NRS for making me a SUP fan! Pros Wide, stable and perfect for bigger beginner paddlers who fall over easily. Despite its size, it's more maneuverable than you would think. Cons This is not a race board, so it's not the fastest board you'll try. That said, nobody expects to with Battle of the Paddle with this board. Usage Learning to SUP, touring, practicing maneuvers.
