Bestway Hydro-Force Panorama ISUP 11' 2"

I purchased this paddle-board for upcoming trip for my friends lake birthday! The price was great, even though I was not expecting much for the money! I was surprised how well and sturdy the board was. That said, I only tried it on the very still water, no wind! I am only 5'4" so the size wasn't a problem for me, but the board is bit narrow for a grown-up, I was able to balance just find, but if the water was more choppy and windier, it would be very hard to navigate. Also trying to turn around while sitting on the board to grab something like water bottle needs definitely more balance coordination as the board is very narrow! Over all I would recommend the board for smaller body type, probably shorter than 5'4", perfect board for older kids/pre-teens! I returned the board with a promise (to myself) that I will purchase a taller board from the this company (around 10' or 11'), as material wise and quality seemed very nice! .. Part of me wishes I kept it, but I know I need a board I can use on the ocean and rivers in the future, and this would be too small!
