I have sailed and supped the RRD. It has sailboard rocker, so it will plane. It is plenty stable and sups better than one might think with the straight rocker. It helps to have good footwork and initially you will probably have more success with it in softer or smaller waves. As always it depends on which discipline is your priority. There are likely a couple more modern boards that would work, although with a slightly different sailing to surfing ratio. You would have to throw a mast insert in, but the infinity escape pod and a couple hipro longboards look they could work if you are okay with a strapless riding style.
