I am a kayaker. While at a lake in Pa. I watched a guy on a SUP and was intrigued. I asked if we could trade boats for a few minutes and he agreed. I could see myself spending more time with a SUP than my kayak if I bought one. That Starboard board was really nice, seemed rugged enough and amazingly more stable than I had imagined. I think I got hooked. So much easier to move around and carry than my NDK Explorer. I only got to try it on waves made by passing boats, but it was easier to surf than my kayak. I could really love this board. I'm almost sorry I tried it (cause now I want one!)
Pros
Ease of maneuverability from car to water. Seemingly short learning curve. Appeared rugged enough.
Cons
A little pricey, but hey...what's fun that isn't?
Usage
Flat water, maybe some light surf.
