gee this new ace is really good .handles so much better than a earlier ast version I had. feet are level with the water but it looks like they have dropped the sides a bit as well as those sides now being under cut. its a whole lot less intimidating.

I paddled in bumps and waves around the ck mouth and well it behaves really well even taking cross hits.

going in is just amazing - super fast and effortless like no other.


ok, ive been a fan/ not of canoes is the past and was anxious about this board.


now I can't wait to get out there.


the aces will fly at the cut. but I think a broader range of paddlers would be comfortable on these new 2015 aces

I heard that there was a 2 cm recess rule on boards for the CUT and doctor this year? I was shocked when i read it and i think it said if the recess is over that then it would have to go in the ski class!!

Sorry Jacko no ski class in the CUT, dedicated SUP race. Looking forward to seeing you guys rip up the west coast, well for the first five minutes while I can still see you.

Gee, I reckon if you bought two sink plugs from Bunnings you could have a bath in that thing when you're done paddling...

The side walls actually look a bit deeper than on my 2013 Ace. I'm guessing the standing area is now a bit lower down and closer to the water. This should increase stability though. My buddy has a 14x23.5 Ace coming in our spring (Apr.). Can't wait to try it out and see how it compares with my Ace. The new Ace is supposed to be a bit faster with the lower rocker.
