From the website: Designed specifically for standup paddling, the Laird standup paddleboard has a wide and thick template with a flat bottom for stability. Low rocker for speed and pulled in tail for maneuverability.

Evaluators said:
“surfy and fast, very maneuverable, not what I expected from a softop”
“stable for my weight (240), turns well, catches waves well”
“fast down the line, surprising cruise and glide”

Summary: Softops have a bad rep–maybe this board will change that. Highly rated in all categories by testers in every weight and skill category.
