Sean Ordonez developed his mastery of shape and construction with Ricky Carrol, over 18 years ago. He moved to Hawaii and became a world renowned waverider, and shaper. He is one of the pioneers of stand up paddle boards and developed custom boards for the world's elite. His designs are simply the best. Stability, ease of steering and a total blast in the waves, without sacrificing stability and glide in flat water or rivers. Chose the big red for cruising and distance paddling, smaller waves or larger body weights. Don't get me wrong this board easily surfs large waves. Chose the big blue for smaller people or wave riding, more experienced paddlers. Chose the green board if you want mostly wave riding. The construction and quality on this board is the best I have seen.
