The NN14 performed as well as I hoped it would. I have used it at least 75 days so far. I have 2 hard boards that I use and if I were starting over I would just buy inflatables. The hard boards cost more and won't last as long. Now when I want to pull up in a rocky area I don't have to worry about every little bump dinging my board or worse the only change I would like to see on the NN14 is for it to be a couple of inches wider I would like a little more stability. Overall the quality is very good the other inflatables I've seen aren't as tough, I would recommend Sea Eagle to anyone.
