Hey Vector,
The board will work with any rider, the outline of the board makes it very comfortable to ride, you very very little water spray in your face, the flex is also very good, so the board works great in flat and choppy water.
We have designed this board to work great for freestyle and any kind of tricks, but it will also be good for cruising around.
We have been using it in our kiteboarding centre JT Pro Center for rentals and for beginners.Everyone love it.
You can’t go wrong, I wouldn’t have put my name on it 
cheers
Jeremie
