Best board i have ever owned hands down.. Bought as a step up with the Pin Tail as we had some travel plans and i paired them with Garys Quad fins.. The fins with the board just work. I havent tried anything different and i won't. Covid stuffed my travel plans but whenever a big swell hits the sunny coast i reach for this board. I messaged Gary after my first surf. Mindblown at how well the thing paddles, how it turns, how stable it is and how it just loves sitting in the pocket. I Have had some of the surfs of my life on this board already and couldnt recommend it enough. i got it in PU Construction with a thicker deck glassing and Garys suggested Dims for me. He hid the foam really well. Just go get one you ll love it

Awesome board. Easy paddle due to the deceptive volume under the chest with the rolled deck. Fast, carves turns - just a great board. Had plenty of comments about a really nice shape. Love it!

This is a great all round board. Good volume under the chest for paddle power and stability when its small. Trims nicely. Decent rocker and turning power on steeper bigger swell but still a sweet solid ride. Tucks in nicely when its hollow too. Stunning artwork and top quality finish like all the Gary boards. A whole lot of fun and makes me feel like a better surfer than I am :)

Great board for the bigger surf. Solid under foot and draws beautiful lines. I’d ride it in anything over chest to head high. I was seriously impressed with the construction methods. Strong and durable delivering bang for buck and better for the environment.

Amazing board. Immediately increased my wave count without losing anything in terms of performance. The Gary McNeill quads are a great addition to this board also. Cheaper than the Rasta quads and better quality.

I bought the entity for more solid surf and haven't been disappointed. It draws the same lines as a fish, while allowing for deeper, tighter turns. I tried it with futures f6 + blackstix fins and HS generation series quads. The HS felt looser while also giving the board good drive (the blackstix felt a bit sluggish to me). Solid, quality construction, these boards are made to last. Highly recommended.

I am very happy with the the board so far. Looking forward to getting some better waves with it. This is my second Gary McNeill and I am again happy with the build quality.

I ordered this custom through Gary. He was easy to deal with and prompt with communication. I offered suggestions as to dimensions for a step up Entity Pin. He thought they sounded good so I went ahead. I got the stringerless PU with carbon rails. This board works so well as a step up. In bigger, hollower waves it just sticks on the face with the rail holding in. It still turns easily and is manoeuvrable, just less so than my daily shortboard, but that is to be expected. It also doesn't float/paddle as well as my shortboard, but that's a firewire helium that's insanely light and buoyant. It does duckdive a million times better. The quality of this board is excellent. It was packed perfectly for transport and my nearly hundred kilo weight hasn't compressed the deck in any way. Thoroughly recommended.

This board is sick! Really responsive, drivey and fast. Artwork looks awesome. Suits high performance style surfing.

I've ridden over 70 boards all my life and the Entity is by far the best board I've ever ridden. Paddles easy, goes great in small surf and it's outstanding in bigger surf, I feel like everything I try to do comes out perfectly when I surf it. Addictive board.

This is a fantastic board for just taking out without knowing what its going to be like because it works in tonnes of different conditions. I would say that I find myself often wondering if I would've liked going a bit longer in order to make it work better for waves on the very small and very large end of the spectrum.

Without a doubt the entity is the best board I’ve ever owned. Gary is a magician when it comes to shaping boards. I’m so impressed I can honestly say I don’t think I’ll purchase boards from anywhere else again

This board is great! I've bought it as an all-rounder and have not been disappointed. Paddle power is better than expected and has increased my wave count for sure. The outline is a bit different in that it's narrow enough through the nose and has some tail lift to take steeper drops but rounder through the body giving some forgiveness and drive in smaller days. On top of all that the artwork is amazing and SPC construction seems really sturdy. Thanks Gary!

Super fun board. Despite it's small size, it is a really drivey solid feeling board. Doesn't get up speed that quickly on flatter waves, it seems to need a hollower or bigger wave to get that tail lift happening for it to feel loose, once you have a bit of speed though, its really fast and responsive and holds a solid rail through turns. Paddles really well for a small board.

Beautifully shaped board! Super stable and a paddling machine. I got it as a five fin for the versatility but have been riding it mostly as a quad which gives it awesome drive.

Joel · Age: 45 · Height: 176 cm · Weight: 71 kg · Skill: Competent · 6 Nov 2019

I am very satisfied with this board! The board is very fast and paddles and turns really well. I wasn't sure about ordering over the internet but really wanted a Gary McNeill board. It is exactly what I thought it would be and more. I love this board.

"Nice and stable paddling in... Good float and buoyancy. My aim was to find a board to bridge between a mal and a shortboard. These dimensions hit the mark for sure. I'm very happy with the outcome!"

My first surf on the Entity was Double OH+ on an outside bank beach break, this board caught waves easily, handled the drops, and carried speed off the bottom, both forehand and back hand like no other board I have had. It has then proceeded to do this in 2-3ft slop and clean 4ft waves, it is so good in fact that I wonder why I also purchase a Rasta Torus Twin, which I also think is amazing, but in almost any surf as lovely as I find that board this one has a combination of fishy feeling looseness and speed in a straight line and on rail control like I have never felt. This is probably the best board I have ever ridden, makes me feel like I know what I am doing on almost every wave!!!

I ride this in a quad setup. It's fast, stable, drives down the line really well, but still turns tight. Bit of extra foam under the chest and a more forward wide point allow for early entry into waves. It's a great fun board, that is perfect as a daily board, but will also work in more solid waves up to around double overhead.
