Anyone tried the new Tower Adventurer 2 10'4"??

[bestwesturn]

I am new to the sport. I am a larger fellow, 5'10" 260lbs. I also live in a small apartment. I am trying to find a decent board, preferably inflatable because of my apartment size, that can support me that won't break the bank for my first board. Was considering this board. Has anyone tried it? I can't seem to find much about it online.

If you're on a budget, Tower will probably fit the bill.  Believe there's several Zoners who've owned Tower and their reviews range from good to indifferent, but never "terrible".  Think 'deepmud' is currently paddling a Tower.  Seem to be several youtube reviews of Tower also. 

Use the money you save on the board, to get a decent paddle.  Maybe a KeNalu Honu?  Crap paddle is much much worse than so-so board.
 

I am a larger fellow..

Sheesh.  You big guys seem to flock to the 'Zone like seagulls squawking over a discarded fry carton on the boardwalk.

The Adventurer 2 has only been available for a month or two so it's going to be hard to find many reviews on it.  I have the original Adventurer and really like it but I only weigh 175 pounds. 

At 240 you might be happier on the Xplorer.  I've got both and like the Xplorer better when I'm on the water but it's quite a bit bigger and heavier which almost defeats the purpose of going with an inflatable...

surf or flatwater?

Thanks guys. I knew it was new just had to ask

I would be strictly flat water. I am land locked in Nashville, TN.

Wow, he's lost 20lbs already. Imagine the weight he'll shed once he gets a board!!
