Fun but not for over head high heavy conditions.. But when its waist high and mushy this board is the shit! Stable for beginners but responsive and tight when driven by one of those real sup riders.. HA!... Fun stick and a great blend of freeride flat water beach barge or mash potatoes swell peeler!

Give it a demo down at the Kayak place near the 76Gas station in Hood River. The complete line-up of SS SUP's are in da house or shed...

I mean I can appreciate a wide board, but once you get that much width on the tail, it will usually flatten out with just about any speed. I'd definitely demo one if they put them in the demo stack over here. I like the finish tho, and I might be wrong..that has happened Smile

That's pretty f*n cool slingy is pushing this aspect of the sport forward. Props to them. Fair number of low wind, small surf days on the OR coast.
