I guess it depends on how big you are and how well you can paddle and balance on it.
If it paddles well for you then it is probably good for the 4-5ft waves, but you may find it too short/difficult to paddle into the 10 footers.


But, it does seem awfully short!
(or, awfully thin and narrow for that length :wink: )

Agreed.. probably too short for 10 foot waves. Need more of a thruster.
