Still somewhat new myself, but..... Posted by: davbart on May-29-12 5:21 PM (EST)
I'm learning that boards are as diverse as kayaks and canoes, so like canoes and kayaks you need to decide what your primary use will be and demo as many boards as fit that use and buy it. Now, it may be because of my newness, but I think paddleboards are a little more sensitive to paddler weight. What I mean is they seem to have a smaller weight range where they perform at optimum (stability, manueverability and speed).
