Curious what people’s experience is with these. Im really interested in them and the shape looks amazing. I’m definitely a beginner in the DW realm and concerned the narrowness may be too unstable for my current skillset. Would love to hear your thoughts!
I got one a couple of months ago. I had an inflatable downwind for winging previously, but only paddled that a couple of times. I’m a sup and foil beginner, but have surfed my whole life which I think helps with balance. I am 92kg and have the 120L Frank board. I got used to the stability very quickly. In some ways this seemed more stable than my inflatable downwind board (7’11" 135L 21" wide). I cannot flatwater paddle up yet and have only had it in the bumps at the gorge once so far. I don’t feel like the stability holds me back from balancing in bumpy conditions or trying to put power down. At this point it’s mostly my crappy technique which I hope to improve. Hope that’s helpful, feel free to reach out.
