A shorter, wider all-round SUP is easy to stand on, but it tends to push water and wander from side to side. The Neva has a longer waterline and cleaner outline, so each paddle stroke carries you further. Over a 5km or 10km paddle, that makes a real difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is still an inflatable board, so it remains easy to store, transport and travel with, but it gives you a much more purposeful touring feel than a basic beginner board.
