for a beginner, would the 12.6 board be better than the 10.0? we would be using it primarily on flat water (lakes & reservoirs).

Yes. The longer and wider and thicker the better for a beginner due to the stability it brings. Its perfect for flat waters. Hope it helped. Rgds

I think either one would be ok.. The longer one will be easier in the beginning but with some time on the water, you may want the 10 footer..I am a beginner and I got the 10 footer..

We have 2 boards. Both are about 10 feet. Unless you are too heavy for the specifications of the board, 10 feet will be fine. Make sure you look for a 6 inch thick board. They are much more stable than the 4 inch boards.

Hi Jerry. This board is more for cruising around. I believe the Greco SUP that is also for surfing is in development.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

This one is my first and only I love it. And you never really know what suits you until you try it out. Some people like long boards and some penny boards. But this is def a great board. I hope I answered your question.

Hi, the Ozoboard is a great cross over board - you should get a 9'6 if you are going to do SUP and you can still use it as a surfboard as well. Regards Jeanjean

I fish shallow lakes, less than 20 ft deep. The smaller screen may be confusing at first, but I think you'd adjust with use.

I have the 60.6 and it is well worth the money. I have many Def Tech products and they have exception customer service. Buy with confidence as they will support your product and they have a very knowledgeable staff to answer your questions.

Shoots pretty far, but control on plane is not that great. I recommend spending $18 and getting the S107. Good flight time and control. Unless your all about water shooting, I'd get the other.

I have the 18-200 and have enjoyed it. If you are absolutely sure you will never go FX, the 18-200 is a good choice. For less money, I would prefer the 28-300 instead of 18-300, if you ever want to move to FX.

I have the CZ 12CS , which is much too large for freshwater. The 10 is also too heavy duty for freshwater unless you are going for #50-100 lb catfish

I personally own this longboard. For cruising, both drop throughs and drop decks work well. Drop decks work better for bombing hills or going downhill

just taking a shot here. i have almost no boating experience but this looks like an easy way to get on a calm small lake and paddle around. would this be safe for a novice who has only rowed a boat before?

You'll be fine. I'm 230 and this thing doesn't even dip when I stand on it. Definitely the right board for you. Might want to look into a bigger paddle, but that's something else entirely. The paddle that comes with the board will definitely get you started.

this one from my experience!! It is a good all around board. and the only update that I recommend is new bearings. I got bones reds on amazon for like 11 bucks!

I just got a 12/12 and I also have a 12-18 I think. I have set it up a few times I think the 12-12 will be really good

Have not used the 330 but the 370 is great. My husband I have gone out in the 370 several times and loved it and last time we took our 7 year old daughter with us and it was great. We have not gone white water either just some nice lakes.the rating and weight compacity are two things you need to compare.that will tell how good it is and how much it can handle.Make sure it is mets the NMMA requirements.

If the question is specifically about the Old Town Vapor 10 I'd say I'm happy with my purchase. You don't need a lot of help if you want a good, reasonably priced kayak that is good on lakes. I'm over 6 foot and it is comfortable for me but I sometimes put in an extra seat cushion. It comes with an anchor so all you need is a paddle and life vest. The only change I would make to it would be extra rod holders aft of the seating area instead of behind.
