Awesome board
I bought this as a first board In our collection. I tried a bunch of different ones that friends of mine have, and the one thing I struggled with was buoyancy. Their boards being shorter was causing me to struggle to stay afloat. I picked the 5 foot one, since it’s rated to 230lb and I’m 200-210lb. Boy did this board help me get the feel of the wave and not be so concerned about if I was going to fall or sink the nose. Definitely a great first board I think that will help me and new riders build confidence
