The Ocean Kayak Nalu 12.5 Paddle Board is longer and faster than its younger sister the Nalu 11.0. It paddles smoothly across the water putting long-distance voyages within reach. A comfortable seat back and a roomy bow hatch for storage, make it easy to sit down and enjoy as well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Review: | The Nalu 12.5 works fine in both standup or SOT mode. I replaced the large OC seat with a smaller Comfy Kayak racing seat because I usually stand up. My two composite sea kayaks haven't been off the rack since I bought the Nalu! Standing up is a better all around workout and just plain fun. I think OC could have designed better handles to make it easier to transport but that's a minor complaint. Any skepticism I had about buying a hybrid is long gone. I'm glad I bought the Nalu 12.5 from AK. | ||||

| Review: | LOVE this! I wanted a SUP board, and also a SOT kayak, and got it all in one! Super stable, tracks well, fast enough for me, and very cool looking! One thing I wish it had was a cup holder, but otherwise, it has all that I need. I purchased the scupper valves, and they work well in keeping the water drained if you are in rougher waters. I mainly use on lakes and calm rivers, and feel very comfortable on the Nalu. Great for all ages - highly recommend this!! | ||||

| Review: | This is a really fun and versatile toy. If you are a beginner and wondering if paddleboarding is difficult to master, at the very least it is not difficult on the nalu. I got up on my first try and after 10 hours of board time I have not fallen down yet. | ||||

| Review: | This is my first experience buying a SUP, but I LOVE this one! It is easy for anyone to use, and is super fun. I read the other reviews, and it is exactly what I was wanting. I use it mainly on lakes, and the best part is that it has a place to store extra water and you can sit down and paddle like a kayak if you feel like it. | ||||
