As stated in the title, I've found the Wayfarer to be a nice upgrade to for my all-around board. After paddling the Badfish Monarch for a few years, this summer I swapped it out for the Wayfarer. It's slightly longer and slimmed out for better glide, and can handle a bit more rider weight/ gear. It's also feature-rich out of the box with the Scotty Mount, GoPro mount, water bottle holder, tri-fin, and wiki rail. The wiki rail is a great addition and works very well to shed water off the tail of the board, making it paddle more like a hard board of equivalent dimensions. I'd recommend this board to anyone looking for a premium first-purchase or a nice upgrade to your existing quiver.
