I had the angler version of this board. It is extrenly heavy. About 70lbs. The board is slow on the water, hard to paddle, and my "waterproof" compartments leaked. Luckily Austin canoe and kayak has excellent customer service and allowed me to exchange it.
Overall I was disappointed in this board as a SUP. As a kayak/fishing vessel you will be happy. So if you want SUP perfformance 2nd after stability and utility then this board is for you
Pros
Stable,very versitile, good seat
Cons
Waterproof hatched leaked, heavy, slow, uncomfortable foot pad,
Usage
1 time on calm lake

Even though this is a heavy board (64 pounds), it has a HUGE amount of storage and deck space. Paddles smooth, slow, and steady like any heavy SUP board, but can handle waves and chop with ease and without hull slap from the waves like on a typical board.Although it is geared towards anglers(and it is, in my opinion, the best angling board out there), It is great for leisurely paddling, too! From beginning paddlers to experts, this board can do it all and last forever, and it is money well spent.
Pros
Steady
Very stable
Handles waves with ease.
Storage, Storage, Storage=>so much storage
Good for both beginners and Experts
Cons
Heavy
Mostly geared toward angling (good thing for me, but maybe not others)
Usage
Angling, Fitness, Cruising

LOVE THE BOARD. I am a 54 yr old woman . was introduced to paddleboarding in Hawaii. Bought one here at home in Humboldt County Northern Caifornia...
Pros
stability.. design... hatches, can sit and kayak, stand and paddle or kneel, as if i'm in an outrigger canoe!
Cons
TOO HEAVY for me to handle on and off car alone. Do not own carrier...It's really large for a carrier.. is one made for it? Need help to carry it to water. WISH SKAG WAS RETRACTABLE.
when i pick up speed paddling, water can wash over nose of board.. hard to stay dry ... and we need wetsuits around here..
Usage
lagoon, lake, sloughs, bay exercise touring
