I had a little bit of apprehension when my Innova 26" first arrived. Once I went to the training classes and started playing with it on my own, I absolutely love it. I had learned on a smaller Nolting and then a Gammill, tried a Tin Lizzie and an HQ, but fell in love with the Innova when I tried it at the dealer. The only thing I don't regret is not having as much time anymore to play with it (I went back to work FT a few months ago).
