I love this board. I am relatively new to SUP as in have just got to the point of standing up confidently! This board was slightly narrower than the one I had been trialling on so I was a little nervous. No need. There was a little wobble when I first got on but it was so easy to manoeuvre and I felt so secure on it. It was easy to inflate and just as easy to pack away. The bag is more than big enough to fit everything in and more. For a beginner just dont hesitate.
