✔️ Easy paddling / wave-catcher ✔️ Works in small, undesirable conditions ✔️ Replaces a longboard when it's peaky and dumpy ✔️ Replaces a mid range at high-tide rolling, soft waves ✔️ Replaces a shortboard in crowded conditions ✔️ Replaces a gun on crowded, hard-to-catch waves ✔️ Less bulky then longboard and lighter in weight ✔️ Narrower and easy to carry to surf break
