I used to use my paddleboard to access low tide areas that my bay boat couldn't reach at those tides. I used a cooler to sit on and could carried a rod and a paddle. Saw a Voodoo in April and bought one. Total game changer! I can fit a lot of gear and a dog and don't have to worry about dumping the paddle board. Stores easily in my garage and travels easily in the back of my truck. The seat is the best part as it has three positions: comfortable to sit low, you can see a ton of fish sitting on the back rest and standing on the seat itself is like having a tower on a paddle board. If you like sight fishing for reds and snook and the ability to beat the boats to the mangroves for the first couple hours of an incoming tide this is the craft for you.
