Thanks for the review, this board is on my final list. Need something for two, or one and my Great Dane. Need some weight capability, but I do not want to buy one of the expensive mega boards yet.
Thanks for your great review! :) I've already got an Aqua Marina Model 2020 Super Trip and I'm super satisfied with that board and with the price-performance ratio as well. Looking forward to summer 2021! :) Hopefully, it survived the winter. ^^
hello! what do you reccomend for 130 kilo (2persons) sometimes i want to go on my own and sometimes together. mostly in flat water but i want to try in the surf too. i have done it a couple of times but i can surf(got my own surfboard) it has to be stabile but allso easy to manover. do you reccomand this board or the aquamarina magma or monster for example. i heard this board is not easy to ride on your own. im only 1.55 meters tall and dont know if i carry it by myself. please help me!
Sandra Van beers Hi Sandra, The Super Trip is a great beginner board and will be super stable and you will have loads of fun with two people and on your own. You will probably be able to use this board in very small surf but it won’t be very good. The shape is designed for stability not surfing. The only other board from aqua marina that you could paddle with two people sitting down would be the aqua marina monster. This would be much better in the surf. See my other videos for an example. The Monster is narrower so will be a little less stable but with practice it’s a great board.
Sandra Van beers sorry just seen your comment about carrying the Super Trip on your own...... that will be a problem. It’s really requires two people. The monster is also big but my girlfriend is small and can carry it short distances. The Magma is a lot smaller and not ideal for two people.
Would this be a good board that one person can paddle solo, and occasionally take an adult to paddle tandem with? Or maybe one of the other 12" boards in the AM range would be better. Let's say 60% of the time would be solo
Hi there, Yes the Super Trip is a fantastically versatile board. Aqua Marina now make two types 12ft and 14ft. I have an older model super trip and its similar to the newer 12ft model. It is very stable and great for a beginner to learn on solo. Having two people standing on a board is quite difficult and takes practice. But when you are both comfortable its so much fun taking a passenger on the water with you. I probably have used this board the most as its so much fun due to its versatility. The 12ft super trip would be a good option for 60% solo trips. The width is important for stability and this is a nice and wide board. Only thing you much consider is this is not a performance or touring board and will be slow to paddle and turn when compared to an all-rounder or touring board of similar size but these will be very difficult to paddle tandem. It can be done but very difficult. I would recommend the super trip 100%.
