Love this board. I'm 5'8" and 98kg and experienced intermediate+ surfer. It's just so easy and relaxing to surf. However it is no mini-mal, it performs. Won't go top to bottom and surf in the pocket like a smaller thruster but it does other things extremely well. The tail is refined so you can lay down some searing carves. It's an effortless board to ride. For a bigger or more relaxed surfer this is ideal. Paddles extremely well but you can still duck dive it easily. Very stable too for the intermediate surfer with the area up front. Not 100% sure on durability yet. My fingers have left tiny (just visible) indents up and down the rail on the bottom from duck diving. I think it's OK but not as durable as a nicely glassed PU board I don't think, in terms of denting anyway. Overall structural strength not tested in heavy waves. Overall a it's a definite buy recommendation if it suits your approach, weight and style of surfing.

One of the best all round big guy boards I have ridden.
