This great feeling, wonderfully laminated wood SUP has a nice feel, nice flex, and is very light! The blasa/cedar laminated wood blade with double bandings of maple around the blade, is tipped with a new tips I call the Razor -- and t has a super tough phenolic insert sandwiched between the blade body and a walnut veneer! So pretty, and so tough! I like to keep these under 80", and the 8.5" blade (pictured) is a good recommendation. Approx. wt. 26 ounces.
