It responded well, it likes a faster current. It was smooth and fast with good edge control. The sport would be great for anyone who's looking for adventure are wanting to do a little more distance and carry more gear. The Good: Lots of room for storage. The great handle for carrying in contact points for shoulder strap. Cuts through the water really well when weighed down. The Bad: A little heavy to carry, the paint scratches easy. The Bottom Line: An awesome board for adventure.
