Managed to take my new toy out today for the first time, here is my first impressions:
Conditions: Flat water (river) with 11-13knt wind, current against the wind.
Distance paddled: 3.6km (quick one before work)
Me: SUPing since 2012 on a Starboard Wopper. 98kg, 1.78m tall.

Impressive build quality, looks great. Took me 7 min to inflate to 18Psi - next time will most probably increase that to 20Psi (didnt feel like it flexed a lot, however noticed a crease in the deck post session)



Very stable, did not notice much of a difference between this and my 34" Wopper - will update once I take it on the ocean. Felt a lot faster, and was tracking great. Paddled into the wind first up - was working reasonable hard, but did not notice any problems with the increased volume. Its light, easy to carry (my partner picked it up with ease when I first inflated it at home), I will update when she has had a go on it (64kg @ 1.64m) - personally I dont think she is going to have a problem. Packs away easy and clean. Taking it on the plane to Gero with me tomorrow, so will see how that goes as this is the reason I bought it (travelling board). As it was only a short test paddle, I dont have anything I dislike about the board (except maybe the fastening of the fin, took me ages to get the bolt to bite!).
