The top features are impressive: high-quality pump, great bag, FCS fin that can be clicked in easily and without tools, a waterproof mobile phone cover.

And the shape of the board probably also meets the requirements of many paddlers. The slim bow does not glide completely deep in the water, but is also not too high-curved, gives a sleek impression when paddling and goes over small waves easily. The wide stern ensures good tipping stability and enables safe and tight turns. You can go quite far back and the board turns like on a beer mat, while still maintaining sufficient stability. An additional carrying handle, sensibly located at the rear where the fin sits, rounds off the equipment. Subjectively, the board is particularly easy to paddle. The deck pad is particularly non-slip, and the stiffening struts (RSS system) inserted at the side are intended to give the board additional rigidity.

PLUS Light and very fast to paddle; easy to turn over the stern; top equipment

ConclusionVery versatile all-round board for sport and also for fast touring. Tilt-stable and yet very fast.
