Review:

The Surftech Universal board is very large,in charge, and super stable. I had as many as four kids on it with me at once ages 3 thru 7. The Universal tracked pretty well in the flatwater with plenty of float but wasnt very fast probably due to the rocker. It was notably slower into the wind chop, also. I have not taken it to the beach yet but would expect it will perform fairly well in the soup and small waves with the tri fin setup and surfboard like feel. I question the durability of the board after only two weeks of use. Furthermore, it arrived with noticeable dings but I was able to work out those issues with ACK. Kierra should win the customer service of the year award. Final thoughts, a great all around board that is fun for the whole family with moderate performance; the matte epoxy is not all that durable.
