Byron 10'6 All-rounder

The price is a little more than I wanted to spend, but I'm super glad I did. Couldn't be happier with the Byron 10'6. It's sturdy and was easy to handle when the water get's a little rough. Buying quality the first time is always worth it. The board is built well and easily held my three kids or me and one of them for a good ride. The fin mounts easily and without tools. Getting it back out is little harder but manageable. The double/single action pump is a lot nicer than expected. Just remember to put the board's valve in the right position before you start pumping. Everything fits easily inside of backpack/roller bag, and not just the first time. The board with fin and leash weights just under 18lbs. The backpack with board, pump and paddle weights 29lbs. This was really appreciated when I had to hike it into a lake in Utah and when the kids were wanting to take it out. Lesson's learned-the pump won't start registering pressure until it hits 7psi, but the board will start to feel firm prior. You will want to keep pumping and go towards the upper end of recommended pressure, which makes the ride more stable.

I reached out to customer service twice. Both were my own doing, but they were very responsive and helpful. It's like buying into a family business.

I took my board out on the river and then to the beach within the first few weeks of receiving it. The stability is great, even on choppy surf. It's very lightweight and aesthetically pleasing. I've rented several boards in the past, but this is the first one I've owned and I couldn't be more satisfied.

I’m a long time paddler and very selective about the gear I buy. The Honu boards check all the boxes of quality, design, durability, stiffness, weight, warranty, price, etc. We bought 2 Byron boards and 2 paddles. Everything included was top notch: boards, paddles, pumps, fins, leashes, bags. Mark provided fantastic customer service before and after our purchase, and the 2+2 year warranty negates any question about durability. The boards are exceptionally light, stable, and stiff. They track nicely, turn easily, and glide well. The paddles surpass my expectations for quality and performance. 100% satisfied with how my Honu gear performs at the reservoir - can’t wait to play with it on Maui!

If you are on the fence about buying a Honu board - pull the trigger and buy it. You will not regret it. Great customer service from Mark. High quality board for a reasonable price. High recommend!

Excellent board, all feels high quality and easy to inflate and get on the water. Really excels on the open water, even with two young kids along for the ride, really stable and quick in a straight line. Also doubles as a great surfboard for kids to brush up on their standing up whilst moving skills.

Had a small issue with the paddle provided, but Mark quickly rectified. A+

Happy customer.
