Review Starboard Impossible 6'6" Paddleboard

Starboard SUP 6'6
Rider: Craig 58kg 168cm (yes he is a grown man) Beginner Surfer with advanced paddle skills.
Author does not have the skill or the time on the board to give a fair appraisal, however - this is what I have found so far...
This board is really too advanced for me, but I love it so much I cant stop taking it out.
It does not need a big wave, but you do need to be on-peak and have solid paddle skills to get the ride.
Plus: Super loose - when you get your weight over the fins, you only need to think about turning and it has happened. I will always keep this board or something like it in my quiver.
Negative - not suitable for long paddles to distant breaks unless you are in top physical condition. Each paddle stroke against the wind is like shovelling cement compared to longer boards.
Perfect for grommets or advanced riders who want to take SUP short board style riding to the limit. Great as a second or third board, but if it was your only board, you would miss out on a lot of waves in less perfect conditions or when the waves are breaking a long way out.
