That would not work in rough open ocean like here in Hawaii. How would you steer that thing ??  looks very directional.

I guess the spirit of innovation makes the case that any set up be legit, but I think they named it wrong. I hereby dub thee "Stegosaur".

so far, and i have only ridden once, its seems pretty dam fast. Yes its tippy, but so is a 23' wide Sb ace and folks race them all the time.

Some odd wake coming off the back I think due to the turbo hull.

We have a top paddler in NZ about to use it on a 25km paddle so will post result after that.

I paddled one for a few minutes at Surf Expo.  Very fast and tracks great.  I don't remember having any issues with balance while paddling, but the board puts a huge premium on being able to get back on the tail to turn.  At 250 pounds with marginal balance, turning this board was too big of a hassle.  I suspect it would get pushed around a lot in choppy water as well, but no way to know without getting it out there.  Overall I was not a fan.
