I've seen videos of those boards and they are available at our local Costco.
I wonder how hard it would be to paddle in 1-2 foot waves?

Very hard, flat water only based on what I've seen. They've become
very popular at Caribbean resort beaches. I have fond memories of a
good looking young lady paddling one in her birthday suit at Orient
Beach in St Martin. Sorry no pictures, wife was making it difficult
for fine arts photography that day.
