That volume & width is gonna make for a steep learning curve. But Rose is pretty fit, so persistence should pay off....there's no way it'll work for you mate unless you ditch the paddle...it wouldn't work for me either


Yes indeed but she goes ok after spending 5yrs plus on a 666 already. She went for a few paddles today and fell in a lot but she should be right in a few weeks - hopefully. I think its a step too far to be honest but lets see how she goes over the next few weeks. We have a bit of time up our sleeves before we leave so if it is to much for her - we can swap it - it will be a great board at a great price and a piece of cake to travel with if it works out.
Its absolutely incredible how light it is. Makes life a lot easier for her - from grabbing it from the shed to putting in the car - yep she fits straight in - so that in itsself will make loads of difference.
Lets just say that all the girls today were extremely jealous of it due to its weight etc. A few of them had a paddle and went ok on it.
I might take it for a surf one day - looks like a lovely shape ! ! ! ! ! It might be my new step up
