Hobie Retro Classic - Can you tell me about it?

[Rickles]

Sorry if I being a nuisance , but here's another I'm interested in. If anyone has a Hobie Retro Classic, especially a 9'6", tell me how you like it. Is it good for beginners? Types of waves it's good for? Etc. Thanks.

We love to hear how you progress and and what enables you to do it

Hobie Retro Classic looks like a nice board.
Full rounded rails without a hard edge won't catch as much.
Nose is nice and big.
Multiple stringers look nice, but add weight and to the price.
Single fin will limit your experimentation

Is it good for beginners? Types of waves it's good for?

To a beginner any board ( properly sized ) is good, it really doesn't matter since you'll fall off and have a hard time paddling no matter what.

Single or multiple fin won't matter to a beginner since you can't turn and trim yet. But i would rather not ride a single fin in pitching beach break.

Just get the Hobie Peter Pan Slug.

Thanks to both.
