Do it all one board quiver! The hybrid that converted me from hi performance shortboards. Great everyday east coast board with future black stix fins. Daily indo driver (pre - covid) with honey comb fins Perfect barrel hunter on quad fins. Easy to paddle, catches waves and planes early. Turns on a dime. Still holds on the steeper hollower waves. Works in 1-5 feet. Highly recommendable to anyone. Don’t afraid to size this around your height and wider with slightly more volume. Ride at your usual rail thickness. Comparable boards: Hayden love buzz/ white noiz, CI NB2.

Had a custom made with lower volume....simply an epic awesome all round do anything pretty much board. Fast off the mark and solid underfoot....absolutely love this board. Promoted as a smaller wave board (which it is very good at) but have ridden in some solid Bukit waves and it was epic....probably my favourite all round board ever (after 20+ boards)

A great all rounder. Paddled really well into smaller waves. Fairly forgiving & easy to throw around. Felt like it would handle some decent size also (if my own ability was up to it!).

Super fun board in almost any surf! I use this board in 1-2ft messy surf and almost never struggle to catch waves. Easy to maintain speed when the waves are sloppy and turns super easy with pretty good stability. This is my go to summer wave board however it does ding pretty easy and had a few pressure dings on it after my first few surfs.

Can’t say enough good things about this board. Any conditions any time. It is on song. Unbelievable performance and perfectly balanced to get me into any wave I choose. Never a dull day on this board. An essential part of my quiver.
