NRS Czar 6 SUP Board

Love this SUP. Walked on with no experience the first day on the lake (I'm a 110 lb. middle aged female and less than 5'4" and no super sports person. Have never fallen off, even when the 65 lb. labradoodle who rides with me hangs over the front and falls off from boat wake. I've had so many friends try it that I should be an SUP salesman and they love it. I got an electric pump. I'd rather get my workout during the 3 hour lake trips. It is best for someone who is less than 6 ft. The taller family and friends have some stability problems. Highly recommend. I can throw it in the car trunk, be on the lake in minutes or take it on trips easily. Rode the river in Columbus, GA with no problem. Pros SO STABLE, have had for 2 years and take the large dog, very strong and durable. Easy to lift and transport and put in bag. Tracks well. Cons The rubber lifts a little but E6000 glue solved that. It's addictive! Usage On the lake, have had on the river but not in the 2 and greater rapids, in the ocean but not in waves greater than 1 foot. I take my labradoodle with me and she loves it. I feed the ducks at the lake. They like it too!

I took the Czar for a week trip of surfing on the North Shore of Oahu. It was my first time SUP on the ocean and the Czar was an excellent choice. Got into a couple of overhead waves and learned to catch them (what a learning curve!). Caught the wave of my life as this board carries speed and does allow you to ride waves but realistically, not doing cut backs or airs. :) One day it was quiet and used it to paddle a mile to Waimea Bay and back. The board is solid and at only $25 each way a deal! Pros Great surf lines Good rocker Stable Cons Fins vibrated on the overhead waves (was going really fast) In surf, iSUP's are really light and tall which make them like a sail. When it got windy I went to my knees between sets. Usage Wave surfing, river running, and flat water.

Bought this board to run rivers. Broke away from my hard heavy plastic board. So far I'm impressed with its stability! A wave pushed me to one side of the board where I was balancing almost on one foot. My previous board whould have thrown me. This one didn't. Another time my fin caught on a submerged log and I was thrown forward to my knees rather awkwardly. Maintained my balance and stayed on top and dry. Very excited about this new purchase. Pros Pretty much everything! I weigh 230 lbs and the added thickness of the board works for me. Cons No complaints! Usage Running rivers. Some smaller rapids. Occasionally some flat water.
