Well, it's been just over 12 months since I got my new evoke 10ft and here's what I think:
- overall, very happy with the purchase. This was my first SUP and when I got it I was not sure what I would be doing with it. As it turns out I have used it mainly for surfing and it handles well, from small to overhead sessions.
- the price was really good, and given that I was not sure what I wanted at the time, it's a good option for someone getting into Supping, for someone who has surfing experience
- build quality is really good. There were no apparent flaws when I got the board and it's held up well over the year - pretty tough board
now after a year, I'm thinking I need 2 boards - a shorter board for just surfing (probably between 8 and 9 ft) and a 10.6 for cruising at round on flat days. So starting my reasearch all over again.
