VESL PRONE PADDLEBOARD REVIEW:
AMAZING PRONE PADDLE BOARD FOR THE PRICE!
“I just received the stock prone 12’ from VESL. I’m not going to talk about value for money etc as that is easy to see. I truly believe they do a disservice to this board by saying it is not a good board to race. In my first time out I was able to sustain 4.7mph got it up to 5.5 snd 5.7mph in dead flat water. I’m a 64 year old life long athlete in various sports and have a “ fleet” of paddlecraft from Surfskis to unlimited paddle boards and wanted to add a prone to get different experience and to work other muscle groups. I do find the board “lively” and does take some getting used to, I find it not rock solid barge like stable, which is a very good thing as it will help me hone my technique. I did wet sand with 1200g very lightly as I felt some grit, dust on the board. It was very slight and just manufacturing residue. This is a good product and I commend Jeff, the board designer for creating this. I would like to see” not wanting to race” removed from the product description as I truly believe this board would excel in big water conditions. I will post up some videos in a couple of weeks. Cheers y’all from Western North Carolina, Thad Johnson”
