These surfboards are ideal for surfers who have sufficient experience and have been surfing for a long time now. They are difficult to use for beginners or surfers without any experience in surfing because the surfer using this board needs to be a strong paddler who has an understanding about where to start off on a wave and where to speed up to hold on to it. Stability and paddle speed is key and they are good for big waves and double overboard ones.
