We have had the Versa Board in production for a couple months and the word is coming around that people are having a great time paddling them in all types of water. The original purpose of the Versa Board was to make a great entry level paddle board that anyone could enjoy jumping on and paddling around the local lake, river, or waterway. But the more we paddle it the more we realize how fun this thing is to paddle down easy whitewater.
I went over to the Nantahala with Adriene for a kayak competition and took the Versa Board to try out on the river. Robert Bone from the NOC was game so we loaded a couple boards up and headed up stream for a couple mile paddle down the lower section of the Nanty. Neither of these guys had paddled a board on a river before so I was interested to see how it would go. Keeping your balance while sitting on your butt is one thing but stand up and paddle its a whole new feeling. Amazingly the Versa Board looked totally stable and easy to deal with for them.
The Versa Board actually made the paddle down the Nanty a really enjoyable afternoon of fun, a little challenge, and some excercise. Here is a video I put together of the trip.
Enjoy
