iRocker Cruiser

“36" wide is really wide. If you want to laze around in a lake and do yoga then it's fine, but if you'd like to be able to get some speed and distance, then you'll be disappointed. I'd go with a board around 32" width instead. 32" is still very stable and if you're average weight and have decent balance that's a good place to start. Shorter length/wider boards are going to be geared towards stability and and maneuverability. Longer/narrower boards are geared towards speed and going straighter in one direction. I started and still use a 12'6" x 31" cruiser and I much prefer that to the all around/yoga style boards.”
