I have the 10.6 board, PFD and deck bag. The board is 10/10, so rigid but at such a slim profile compared to mid market boards, and reflected in performance and stability, rides so smooth in good conditions, and tackles chop and wind really well, great tracking. All friends who borrowed it had the same feedback. Stow bag, silent air remover, paddle, titan pump, PFD and deck bag all to the same top end design quality and execution, plus excellent customer service. Couldn't recommend more, I will probably invest in an additional 10.8 board for family expeditions. If you are on the fence, I hope this helped you make the right decision ;)
