You can't paddle longer on one side on any board; the long, stretched outline keeps you on track even at high speeds. With a width of only 27 inches, the board feels a little more wobbly, but it allows you to cut through long distances and there is also plenty of space for luggage on deck. In crossbow turns, the board turns a little more sluggishly, for kick turns you have to go backwards to the end of the pad. Tip: The "Downwinder" is a fast, very stable distance board for fitness and touring, for paddlers with some experience.
