I love my Rubicon. I use it for touring on a large lake. The stability is great without sacrificing speed. There is plenty of tie down options for carrying enough gear to camp.

I love my Rubicon. Waited till it came out in blue, as I didn't like the green and got one of the first boards in 2012. Started a meetup group and have many who have gotten on it and paddled away. Had planned on paddling the 22 mile Tahoe n.shore to so. shore, but hurt my back, (not paddling) but still able to paddle this board.
Pros
Stable, easy to do yoga, or paddle fast, or just relax and cruise. At 30 lbs, manageable weight for a 12' board. Have been able to slice thru the water even in chop, or fight a bit of wind.
Cons
When I do the pier to pier and try to come thru the surf, the board planes, so I gave up and just jump off. Not a board for surf.
Usage
I try to paddle early 4-5 times a week locally in Port San Luis, (wind permitting) Mostly fitness and like to use it for racing our local 7 mile pier to pier.

I got my Tahoe Rubicon 3 years ago. I love it's maneuverability and how easily it glides through the water. I have used it mainly on lakes! love it!
Pros
everything. I have used about 6 different SUP's and I like the Tahoe the best. It is light enough for me to carry and handle getting in and out of my truck. It glides through the water easily.
Cons
Nothing bad about it.
Usage
relaxing on mountain lakes.
