From the website: Super easy to paddle and balance due to its extra width and length. Comfortable to get started on this design, climb over white water and into the waves. It is a big wide board, but due to it’s curvy rocker, deep V, thin rails and rounded outline, it is still agile and turns with a smooth carve. Perfect for less-than-epic conditions found around the world, it turns the most mediocre waves into fun. Probably the most versatile board in the market and even great for tandem surfing and fishing.

“Super stable; easy to paddle; easy to carry; easy to position in waves–great entry level board; surfing performance is not bad for the size”  (Intermediate Male 190 lbs.)
“Very stable; catches waves easily; turns slow but smoothly”  (Beginner Male 260 lbs.)

Summary: Good all-around board. Rated very highly in paddling and cruising, surprisingly good in surfing. Most common comment: Stable as a dock.
