Hello, this is a great board; using for over a year now and has surpassed all expectations. Its a wide, stable, short enough to fit inside my small SUV and pretty light for its class. The boards serves multi-functions, will help develop skills in light winds which can be applied during stronger winds conditions like 12- 15knts. JP stopped making the 180 ES Model and renamed the rest to FUNSTER boards. If you need a semi-light short wide board that will get you from the basics to advance skills like jibing and planning with foot straps, this is the board. Good luck in finding one….
