What riders are saying
Easy wave catching and light weight come up again and again, from an advancing beginner to a guy who's been surfing longer than most. Most of these reviews are on the earlier Protech version, with two on the current Protech 2. One owner's take on the trade-off is that Protech isn't delicate but is the least travel-proof of NSP's three builds, so he went to the heavier E+ to fly with.
Based on 10 reviews across 1 site, averaging 5.0 / 5.

Worth knowing
- Less knock-resistant for air travel than NSP's heavier E+ build, per one owner
- Most reviews cover the earlier Protech, not Protech 2
★★★★★
“Rips hard, easy paddling and great rocker. Came in time for Hurricane Marie and did not disappoint.”
★★★★★
“Great board, two strokes into a wave-catches anything, super fast and fun.”
★★★★★
“I like the E+ version almost as much, the increased durability is a trade-off with weight.. That said, the Protech version is not delicate, just less resistant of the three constructions for airline luggage.”
