I love the Board and all my friends that tried it out did too. They sold out from COSTCO very quick so my friends were not happy. I bought a Scout Ironhide from West Marine for my wife as I could not afford two boards at the time. We love the board and so does my friend that also settled for the more robust heavier 6 lbs board. I have beach wheels so moving it around is no big deal.
Pros
Beaver is lighter and more stable, tracks straight nicely and is cool to surf on small waves
Cons
BIG CON is I could not buy another for the price Costco sold it for, I phoned Jimmy styks to see if they would ship more to the Costco as I had a few friends wanting to buy it and they told me to go to West marine, Pay $200 more, not likely.
Usage
Casual touring in the Gulf and intercostal, surf waves when they available. one evening each week we do 5-8 miles for exercise, I mean we power up and get some mileage in the 2 hours after work.
