I recently started SUP-ing and this is my first board. It is super-stable and easy to maneuver both on flat water and in chop. Tracks well and is forgiving for those that are becoming proficient with paddling. The cargo net attachments also allow you to take supplies and snacks if you are planning to be touring for a few hours.
Pros
Stability, weight, tracking and maneuverability
Cons
No complaints
Usage
Exercise, touring
