Patricia,

The Elemental Wave is faster than the Diatom for most paddlers. Sea Gods’ fastest options are the Carta Marina Touring SUP and the Ketos, though the Ketos is reaching more into the fitness and informal light racing scene.

Patricia,

The Skylla was the faster of the 2 for me; it’s super light (19.5 lbs), so it’s quick to get going, though it’s not quite as fast as their Carta Marina.

Or is there another faster Board from seagods outside of their thinner touring board? I’m assuming this board is faster than their all around.

Hello! I am a little confused with the speed tests between models, is this board faster than the Skylla touring board? I want to order the fastest of the two. 🙂

Kim,

I think you’ll love either of those boards. The main advantage you will have with the Elemental Wave is that it’s only 19 lbs, so it will be easier to carry on any hikes. If those hikes are short and you’d prefer to save some $$, then you will love the Thurso 126.

Let me know if that helps, and if you have any other questions.

Diane,

If the SeaGods is out of the budget level, then I would highly recommend the Nautical from iRocker. That board is a great value, and I think it will be great for both you and your husband. I would probably recommend going with the 11′ model for your husband, as I personally prefer the longer board for those above 5’10.

I hope that helps!

I am trying to decide between the Elemental Wave 10 and the Thurso Surf Waterwalk 126. I am 135 pounds and 5’3″. I am a beginner with good balance. I loved my first experience paddle boarding and am hooked. I will typically be on lakes in the Ozark region which translates into lots of coves and tons of shoreline to explore. I also will take this with me to Colorado where we hike to mountain lakes. My husband fishes and I need a sport to keep me busy on the high elevation lakes we hike to. Any suggestion on which board is best or if there is another I should consider?

I’m looking at this board or the Nautical as a gift for my husband. I love the look of the SeaGods and that they are made in Canada and have a lifetime warranty but the price is a bit high. The Nautical is more affordable and can do the kayak seat conversion. I am looking at the 10’6″ for both boards.
My husband is 6′ 170lbs and athletic. He’s done a little paddleboarding before but we do not currently own a paddleboard. I would like to use the board as well and am 5’7″ 125 lbs.
It’ll be used on a calm lake most of the time but I can see it coming on trips to Mexico and him wanting to play in the surf with it.
We also have two young kids who will he’ll give rides to as well.
What do you suggest!? I’m in Canada so some brands are not as readily available.

Jay,

Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to take the SeaGods out in the surf yet. However, from what I have done, I would say that the iRocker is a little more sporty, as it’s only 31″ wide, and is a little faster (just slightly though). The Elemental is more of an all-around SUP so it comes down more to your capabilities. I think the Elemental will be slightly more stable in chop, but the iRocker Sport might do just slightly better in surf as long as you are good on a 31″ board.

I hope that helps, and sorry I haven’t been able to take the SeaGods out yet to the surf!

Hi. Thanks for a timely and helpful review. How does this compare to an iRocker Sport in terms of performance in surf, choppy water and the like? I’m about 6’1″ and 175 lbs.
