Aqualine Harbor Master Inflatable SUP

Has anyone tried this board? I'm a beginner and am looking for and inflatable to learn on and travel with, that is reasonably priced to use primarly on lakes. I would also like to be able to take my 4 year old son along as well for a ride. I've read several reviews on the Sevylor Samoa but virually nothing on the Aqualine Harbor Master which seems to be comparable to the Samoa. Any personal reviews on this board?

Thanks.

It's been awhile

I never got much paddling in this summer, however last week I scored a nice wave day, which isn't easy in place where we don't get good surf. Waist high waves, light winds, warm temps, and the sun was shining. Spent 3 hours scoring waves with my friend, and we were the only 2 out. It was awesome. Hoping this Sunday is going to bring some more waves again, cause it's flat out there now.

Any Interest in SUP SurfMaps?

I'm working with SurfMaps.com to develop a line of SUP SurfMaps to help us find better places to paddle all over the world. Would anyone be interested in a SUP Map? I want to see whether it's worth the investment or not. It would also be good to know if you would like to invest in the project, or become a partner of sorts. Let me know what you think and whether it's something we should pursue or not. Thanks!
