Guys getting my first SUP, surfed for years. One above looks promising. I have heard they a quite stable and good in the surf, with plenty of volume. 160 litre I think. Thing is I have heard that they can be 'hard' to paddle in that 3 strokes and you turn quickly, so it is more of a stand in the lineup couple of strokes and in. Is this true? Is this board at least functional on the flat or on a smooth wave day to paddle into waves?

Oh yeh I weigh 76kg.
