If you're looking for a cost-efficient, low-maintenance SUP that you can just keep in the car all summer, this is it. Is it the widest, most stable board? No. Can you enter races in it? No. Will you be the person who always has an SUP ready to go at the bay, the lake, the next outing by the river? Yes! My friends, family, and I have a blast on this board (I bought two off of Amazon). Its thin width is not the most beginner-friendly, but it makes for a great core and leg workout. It didn't take me long to get the hang of it. If you learn on this board, any hard plastic board will be a breeze to pick up. And you just can't beat the convenience. No roof rack required, just roll it up in the bag it comes with. I probably should clean the board after each use, but I usually forget to. It has still held up well. Eventually I'd like to upgrade, but I will still hang on to this board as a fun beater board. Keep it around for flatwater on calm days (would not recommend on choppy water, whitewater, ocean, or very windy days).
