No waves? No problem! Getting on the water is as easy as standing up and paddling with the Surftech Laird 12.1 Softop paddleboard.

Besides providing a new way to get on the water, paddleboarding develops core muscles and balance—it's the perfect training activity for surfers, skiers and paddlers
Designed by shaping expert Ron House with input from professional surfer Laird Hamilton, this board is suited to novices and seasoned experts alike
12 ft. 1 in. length combined with a high volume and extra width offers a stable platform for all sizes of riders; board easily handles long-distance trips and waves
Low rocker design from nose to tail provides speed and straight tracking when paddling on flat water; design also handles light surf and rolling waves with ease
In addition to ensuring a comfortable experience underfoot, integrated Softop EVA deck offers reliable wax-free traction when paddling in the standing or kneeling position
Flat bottom design offers solid stability and high speed; hard rails and a narrow tail increase performance in waves
Secondary stability boosts confidence and control in turns; stability also lets you focus more on your surroundings and less on balancing during longer paddles
10 in. single fin promotes straight tracking in the water
Center handle makes transporting your paddleboard a breeze

Comments about Surftech Laird 12.1 Softop Stand Up Paddleboard:

At 220lbs and 6'-5" tall, this board was super stable, fast, turned easily, and surfed small waves well. I paddled upwind on Seattle's Lake Union the entire distance with no problem and without having to kneel. Wind was light, about 8kts. Getting up to speed and catching boat wakes was easy. Once on the waves, I had total stability and was able to move up and down the board without any tippiness. So far I haven't had it on coastal waves yet. For a 12' board, it's light enough to carry distances without any issues either with the built in handle and on my shoulder. I'd definitely recommend it for the larger paddler of any skill level and/or beginner.
