Not had it on the water yet, still waiting on wetsuit arriving. I am a bit disappointed with the build quality on the board I bought. The grip pad has a gap down one of the seams, the white cruise writing on it is discoloured with yellow blotches it is also damaged in a couple of areas. There are a couple of little scrapes on the board itself where the blue colouring has scraped off and the writing on the back underside of the board has worn off. There was no repair kit with it either and the big buckle on the bag has scrapes on it like it is not new. I am beginning to think they sent me a used one not a new one.
