After reading the reviews it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I'm a tall beginner but skinny 6'3, 185lbs so 6'8 version was perfect for me. It definitely is more buoyant than others boards I've had and feels like a boat at first, but it causes no issues. It basically has the benefits of a longboard (easy to paddle, fast, stable) but without the downsides of a longboard (not too long, actually maneuverable, and you don't get called lazy by short boarders) This board was the first time...
