Surftech Marisa Miller Surfboard
For touring, you want two things: stability and sun protection Surftech’s Marisa Miller Stand-Up Paddleboard is wide enough for cruising along choppy coastline without involuntary swims, but a thinned-out nose and tail make it playful in the surf. Plus, it’s only 23.5 pounds and has a built-in handle, so it’s less cumbersome than it looks.
