NeedleNose™ NN114

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.

This board flies!!! Purchased a second board to paddle open ocean. Already have a Tower xPlorer but it is pretty slow (although very stable) due to its freeboard in wind and chop. The NeedleNose cuts right through both wind and chop. Both my buddy and I fought to see who got to paddle it each day. Was able to paddle through 15-20 mph winds and two foot chop without a problem. At this price point I don't think you can find a better board! Dan at SeaEagle.com is super friendly and knowledgeable to boot! Pros Fantastic glide, speed and stability. Pierces chop like a composite board. Cons Slightly tricky to roll up due to needle nose cone--but it can be done once you learn the trick--ask Dan;) Usage Touring, racing
