Hi All
I'm new to SUPing and have just purchased a 14' Board (Sunny King 14' Pro), I have hit the water twice and it's been a bit rough. I was surprised to find my board wobbles after slapping into chop or small waves the wobble lasts for about 3 seconds and travels through the whole board. Is this normal ?????
Had a great time love traveling through the water paddle free with the wind in my back.
Thanks in advance.

It is normal and nothing to worry about.. IMO.

Some boards do it more than others depending on shape.. length.. and construction.

You will find that the wobble feeling will become less and less each time you paddle it.

So does mine, but the more you paddle it the less it wobbles .....

I call it 'shudder' - best way to avoid it is to pack your bag and head downwind
