I saw the review above and had to post something here because her experience couldn't be more different from my own.
I've had my Paiwen for over a year now and love it to death. I use it all the time surfing and touring. I've been out maybe 50+ days without a single issue. Some of my best days are on my Paiwen SUP now and it's hard to drag me off the water even after sun down. I also own a 12 foot Naish SUP, the quality is at least equivalent, both are nice but the Naish is too big and the Paiwen suits me better.
I love my Paiwen board.
Pros
Gorgeous
Strong
Fun
Great complete package
Cons
As with all SUPs I wish it could be lighter.
Not a fan of the coil leash for surfing.
