The board is surprisingly light and is easy to carry from car to the beach. The board glides quite fast on flat water as well as choppy waves. Our whole family has enjoyed this SUP. My 10 y.o. daughter learned how to dive off of this board while I sat and gave stability and words of encouragement. My daughter and her cousin perform ballet on it. While not expert, by any means, we have all tried our hand at surfing in waves up to 3 ft. We are all hooked on the versatility of this board.
Pros
The light weight. The length is perfect for cruising and sharing with a family member. It is very stable. Its versatility.
Cons
When cruising into waves, the sound is a bit loud. My wife doesn't like that it doesn't fit in our car.
Usage
We have used it for cruising, surfing, excercise, as a platform between kayaks for exchanging vessels, as a play spot on water for children.
