Oh yes it is!!!had my first paddle very early yesterday mornining i found it was very stable and paddles much better than i thought a planning hull would.Ive never paddled a sup with a dagger fin before and, i have to think it decreases the amount of yawing.I could paddle on one side for so much longer than previous sups with the typical JM type of fin.Really looking forward to my first downwinder,pics and update later.
