Update: I've had some time on the Kai 8'4" Surf and 8'8" ML (wife's board) in anything from waist high beach breaks to a head high point break. both are really fun and perform exactly as advertised. The ML, as you can tell from the outline has a naturally more drawn out turn, but is super fun to washout the tail in cutbacks. It's a very stable board, fast paddler. Liked it both in a Keel setup and Twin plus nub. The Surf is one of the most high performance SUP's I've been on. I was worried it would be too rockered out but it's fast and will turn as hard as you dare. Liked it both in a MR Twin plus nub and thruster Reactor Large.
One complaint. The handle only fits 3 fingers, the boards are light but I don't get it at all. I'm not sure what they were thinking, I like the narrowness as it's out of the way but the length could've been there and depth so you can get a decent grip. Other than that, they knocked it out of the Park.
So with gloves we have to forget it ?
