ALL-AROUND

Panga Surf IS-02 
This board’s simple, full outline and 31-inch width make it a true tough-to-fall-off beginner model. It glided well on flat water and gave us a rather predictable — if a bit clunky — ride in the surf. And it’s a relative bargain, made even better because Panga Surf ships free (a savings of at least $100). [$869; pangasurf.com]
