Hi, bought the 10-5 in January as my first SUP. Super stable I live in NQ most of my waves occur with a strong southeasterly which is on shore the extra width is great. The board is holding up well with only a couple of depressions one from my head another from the paddle both on the bottom, the balsa deck is really strong.Ive taken the board down south northern NSW and surfed 4 to 5 foot beach breaks, the board goes well much better than me. I am 92kgs it has plenty of volume probably too much for my weight but I didn't want to struggle with my first board.I have progressed pretty fast and if I was living down south would be downsizing if I wanted a purely surf sup.hope this helps.
