a lazy video review of Hoe Nalu's "Mano" 11' SUP. At 34" this board is super wide. slight rocker in the nose of the board, the rest of the board is pretty flat. with the widest point being near the front 1/4 of the board, and tapering off narrower towards the tail. This board is VERY VERY stable, best board I've used in terms of stability, excellent choice for beginners. The board moves somewhat fast. More designed for surfing. stock class racing... this board doesn't track very strait, especially from a dead stop. Once you gain a bit of speed it tracks better, but you'll find yourself constantly correcting. Over all this board is a bit on the slower side, and not that great for racing.
Epoxy construction, with stringer. despite it's epoxy construction, I found this board a little on the heavy side. I did not weigh the board, but it's the heaviest board I've ever used.
Sweet boards. I like it.
