How old are you 2old? I'm trying to plan retirement and I need to know.

Mtm & retirement;
Plan A - Give all of your gear away except your smelly wetsuit (see later), donate your big kahuna's of cash to folo's quiver, and become a living snarling cursing wind-sage legend who wears a smelly wetsuit (Huggies may help!) as a four-wheelin' wheel-chair gear caddy on the beach at Nitnat.
Plan B - Find a retirement adviser other than folo!

The 205 Alpha is a SUP board?

Not sure never tried a SUP but people who tried it said it wasnt that hard to stay on it.

On the other hand I have tried a windsurf from an Hotel in Mexico.... It was impossible to stay on it without someone holding it.... A little tiny tiny bit more weight on one side and the board flip in less then a sec. (wasn't that long tho)

Is that Alpha 205 a windsurfing board or an actual SUP? I google alpha 205 board but nothing come up other then some stuff not related.

I would certainly like a SUP board but not one where it is almost impossible to stay on it. Have you ever tried this board as a SUP?

Teabag, its going to be tippy. Fine for windsurfers to SUP with their increased balance skills

i have actually paddled on an old alpha and it was pretty tippy. if you are just touring a lake or bay it would be ok especially if you can drop down a daggerboard. to qualify my earlier statement i should have said "its free, what more do you need"

probably shredded by now though.
