So I took the plunge and bought one. JP 10' Widebody. Awesome first day out on it. A bit breezy but stayed dry all day...bonus.
Quick session before work tomorrow and possibly fine a quiet beach and sample some small waves on Friday.
Very impressed with build quality and styling of the JP. My wife hopped on after me to try it out, never done a board sport before but she is now hooked and online hunting for her own so she can retire the sit on top kayak.
