I have the ULF version of the CM. I started PB last year and it did take getting used to as I am a heavier set person. but yes paddling on it was much easier than an Amazon brand all-rounder that I returned
Yeah as a rule of thumb learning on a touring board won't be the most stable experience ever but it does challenge you and helps you adapt quicker :). It helps that this one is 32" wide too!
