Gear Review: NRS Baron 6 Stand Up Paddleboard

--Product Information-- Product Name: Baron 6 Product Brand: NRS Best Use: Whitewater Stand up paddle boarding --Test Information-- Location of Test: Clackamas River Duration: 2-3 Hrs --Ratings-- Value Rating: 8 Durability Rating: 7 Overall Rating: 8 Full Review: The Baron 6 is a fun board that allows novice to experienced whitewater stand up paddle boarders challenge rapids to their hearts content. The thickness and width of the board allows paddlers to navigate from a stable platform in a variety of topsy-turvy conditions. No matter what you paddle it into (waves, trains, moderate class III boulder gardens, and big water rapids), the Baron provides a fun and responsive experience. It comes standard with d rings for hooking gear or overnight bags if you are planning a multiday SUP trip or just bringing along a lunch. "The Good" List: Stable Firm (when inflated correctly), forgiving, and easy to climb back on. "The Not so Good List": Slow and less responsive on flat water The Bottom Line: A great paddle board for whitewater and an excellent choice for the paddler looking to push themselves on the water.
