Not sure why it costs that much?

Maybe I'm being a little critical, but how come promo videos never show the participants wearing PFD's?

in this vid, i think it's around their waist

so, where can i rent one of these?

You are correct.  Stopping the video, yellow tee handle inflatable PFD being worn.

I was hoping they were coming out with a sit-down version like the i11s but with a non inflatable SUP. Maybe next year? Would any of you guys buy that?

I could see the Eclipse being used for some fishing but I'm not sure about all day fishing. Definitely the new drive & platform will deliver a healthier all body workout but I know I would miss having a seat & the ability to either pedal from or relax in the seat.

That would be cool if you could add a Vantage seat & the new drive & rudder could also be operated from a seated position. would you buy that?

If I want to stand all day I'll fish on a party boat.
I like my recliner.
