The Tahoe Rubicon impressed with its stability, speed, and over-all ease of use! The board gets up to speed within a few paddle strokes and I really enjoy putting the board and edge and carving the board across the surface of the water. This board is a blast to paddle and so user friendly!

I am 6'2" and weigh 210 lbs. The Rubicon is perfect for someone my size. It did not sink when I stood on it, and paddled like it was built for someone that weighs over 200 lbs. What's even cooler is that the person that I was paddling with weighed 170 or so lbs, and also love the board. Also, for a 12 footer, the Rubicon is very light and easy to carry. the grab loop is really soft and evenly centered. If you want a fast and steady touring board with some great gear storage options, get the Rubicon.

This board is awesome for flat water training. Fast, and efficient. You can paddle hard and you will go straight without having to steer all the time. Quite easy to turn. You can pivot turn the Rubicon or you can pressure your right foot to turn left and vise versa. You can pack it up for a day adventure and travel in style. A must have for your SUP quiver.
I was able to try the Tahoe Rubicon at a lake demo a few weeks ago. By far the fastest most stable flat water board I have ever used. I am getting one ASAP as my new training board. You do not have to worry about keeping your SUP straight, it just goes forward with such ease. You can also carry a good size load, small child or dog too. A must have in your paddling quiver.

I have been paddling a Rubicon for two months and absolutely love this board. I no longer feel like I spend half my day doing correction strokes and I just focus on where I am going. It has taking my SUPing to a new level of ease and enjoyment. I love the way it tracks but yet it is not difficult to turn. This is not your typical SUP and has to be paddled to be truly appreciated. I would highly recommend.
