Absolutely love my Cruise Carbon 12! Handles everything I throw at it pretty well, whether that be tackling some simple surf and sea paddling, loading up for a multiple day trip with my dog or demonstrating skills and techniques to customers and regularly falling off from having too much fun. Brought my board just over 2 years ago and now have a small fleet of Cruises to take people out and show them the sport because I loved my board so much. Missed out on the updated model that has more Action Cam mounting points and reduction in weight but still love the board I have.
