Very stable. Backrest is a must for sit-down kayaking.
By im_dragon
I have no problem standing on this. If you ever plan to use this as a sit-down kayak, get a backrest. I have three Kayak: Perception Swifty for cold weather, Ocean Kayak Mysto for rough water play, and Nalu for relatively calm water. With the Mysto, I can paddle without a seat comfortably. Not so on the Nalu. The Nalu, with the Ocean Kayak Comfort Backrest, and the Carlisle Taboo paddle, is now my favorite all-around kayak. It's also the fastest of the three kayaks that I own.

Better Than Expected
By M. MATYASTIK
After years with canoes and kayaks this was a first experience with a SUP. After standing and paddling for some time you can sit and paddle. It would be a good idea to get an adjustable standup paddle for this vessel so that you can alternate between standing and sitting while on the water. Or you can just choke up on the long paddle. Because of the tie down cord one can secure extra gear and the paddle extension. To be more comfortable when siting you can purchase a kayak seat that can be attached to the loops on the board. It all depends on how much back support you require.

Good purchase!
By California paddler
I bought this product recently without much knowledge about stand up paddle boarding.. I based my purchase on other reviews.As a Stand up paddle board (SUP):I tested it, and liked it a lot (without much to compare it with...).But I decided to ask a friend to test it too. He is a pro paddler, and he basically is on the water 7 days a week.He was very surprised, and had only good things to say about the performance and stability. It cuts through the water better than many SUP boards, and is more stable than most SUP boards. His only negative comment was that it was a little to wide for him to get the speed he liked. I am not racing with this board, so I am more concerned about stability in small surf...As a Kayak:This is not as stable as a BIG Ocean Kayak, but works FINE. I plan to use it for day trips along the coast. It is just as good as any other Kayak it's size!For longer trips, I would need a bigger kayak anyway.Also: This product is almost unbreakable! The downside is the weight, but it's completely worth it to me!
