One of the magic points of SUP is the abality you have on it to explore all the parts of the wave.
You start early. You can carve on the face. You can accelerate on the shoulder and come back to the curl…
This feeling is way much easier on a big board like a stand up paddleboard.
A true liberty feeling.
