The board surfs and turns nicely although in windy, choppy conditions I prefer something wider with more float. I’m not used to riding a pulled in nose and wider tail shape so I had some adjusting to do. This board will perform nicely in steeper waves because of the pulled in nose. It’s also useful when you need to lock it up. The lift sup handle is also a nice touch and makes carrying the board easier. It’s fairly light weight so it’s easy to carry. I think this board is more suited to riders under 190 lbs and especially for women.

Even in slightly windy conditions I was able to balance. I tried this board in waist high south shore conditions. The board is able to float a rider up to 220 lbs but the caveat is that if you’re over 200 lbs your balance needs to be really good, especially if your conditions are choppy. I recently did a demo of the Blue Planet 9′0″ x 29″ “Rockn’ Roller” stand up paddle surfboard.
