I want to buy a SUP and I guess there's a VESL factory direct outlet 10 minutes up the road. I'm guessing these things are Chinese popout crap, but are they at least rideable, durable Chinese popout crap? I want to tool around in the ocean and ride waves on days where I don't care enough to real surf. Not looking to join the SUP pro tour or anything. It would also be nice to be able to take it out on DOH-TOH days where the currents make prone paddling difficult as well.

Stay away from anything VESL. Not only are they Chinese pop outs, they’re knock offs. Their prone paddleboard is just a shitty scanned, rebranded Bark Commander.

Its just a SUP so dont overthink it. Love it when here "hey man how many liters is that board". And they are talking about a SUP.

Buy a used one instead
