Good stable board for 160 lbs, with easy paddle to go out and fast reaponse in the waves up to 4feet. My premiere board for the pass two years but lookin for something smallr. The only draw back is the clear is starting to peel off. But the first time you pick up this 9 footer is the light weigh that suprise you every time.

I rented this board from a small surf shop in York Beach ME. I have rented SUPs on at least 6 previous occassions and taken two lessons . I am an athletic 49 yr. old, ACA certified whitewater canoe instructor, high school Nordic ski coach and I body board in up to double overhead surf
Pros
This board was much more maneuverable than any SUP I have been on previously. My solo canoe stroke were effective in turning the board and once the board dropped onto the face of the wave it felt stable.
Cons
Paddling in the small rollers just outside of the whitewater. I was was challenged to stay balanced on the board. I am a beginner at this sport but this board wore me out in about an hour. If his one of your first time trying to surf an SUP and you aren't a surfer. I recommend going for a higher volume, more stable platform.
Usage
I was trying to paddle into a knee high, peeling beach break on the very wide sandy beach at York ME.
