My brother bought one for my nieces after I sent him the link. Thanks for the heads up!

I convinced my mother to buy one for her grandson (my son). It arrives on Wednesday and the kid doesn't know yet.

I'm happy the price reduction stayed around for a while so many could get in.  Usually these strange, all-of-a-sudden price drops at Amazon are much shorter lived.

You guys do know that even the small duratec weighs close to 30 lbs. No little kid is going to be able to move it. But for $160 it is something cool to shove up under the deck.

Then it'll be time for the kid to man up, gorgebob!

Mostly kidding. I don't mind helping my son as long as he's following in his goofy father's footsteps.

Even if the board was half the weight, I'm guessing I'm going to be carrying it for them.

Gorge - the specs say 21 lbs. 

I think those of you that are gonna surf it will have a lot of fun.  Peter Pan Slugs are made for east coast crumblers but are good in just about any conditions.  The real deal will set you back about 5 or 6x the price of this one and be a bit more fragile: https://www.hobie.com/surfboards/Peter-Pan-Slug-25-1.aspx  I have a 9'6" Surf tech version of this design too but it's so light it rides completely different than the traditional version.  A little weight can help in certain conditions. Although for a kid's SUP a board ½ to ¼ their weight a be a challenge.  At least you know it's gonna be rugged construction. Will post up some reports when it arrives.

And now there are 19 more!  If the bigger ones go to this price I'm starting a rental fleet :)

You can still get close to the low price if you're willing to purchase with a BIC adj kids paddle

 It will be fun to review this puppy. Do I understand that it is surf able by an adult? I weigh about 200 lbs, and I could use this? That would be swell!

Site says, "8'4 for Kids <80lbs"....I'm sure that is as a SUP but an adult could easily prone surf it.

Looks like the deal is over for the sup by itself,
but as pointed out above, the  BIC Sport Kid's SUP Paddleboard Bundle - Paddleboard with Paddle
is still available.
