This board purchased for strapless kitesurfing small sloppy wind waves and it performs super well, lots of drive, speed, manoeuvrability and you can jam a turn if you see an incoming lip or section. I beefed it up with 6oz glass full deck. I surf also and expected this board to go well kiting in knee to head high waves only downside is FireWire don't make these shapes for kiting.

Excellent board from small fat summer waves right up to solid 4-5' pumping surf. Excellent quality, had it 2 years and very hard to damage/ding, very stable.

Love this board. Handles all wave conditions but absolutely love surfing it at URBNSURF. Best board for the wave park with the extra buoyancy.

Amazing in all conditions, was really surprised how a small board went so well in overhead conditions. Unreal under the feet with great response, use the Machado tri fin keels also

I surf this size like ultimate mini-mal with tons of paddle power, but once I catch with wave - which feels like cheating with this thing - it really flies and it quite nimble for me. I've surf both as quad and a thruster - personally, I think the thruster is a happier set up for this tail but the quad worked great on relatively weak waves that I wanted to get some speed down the line. In short, super-duper fun, wave-count making machine.

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.

Love this board. It's fantastic to ride and paddle on. I'd been riding a foamie for a while and wanted a board I could progress onto, build my confidence in turning, and make me want to get out in the water as much as possible. It's ticked all the boxes.

The Twice Baked has held its own in weak, crumbly breaks, to 3-4 ft punchy waves, more than what I expected from a groveller. Paddles and catches like a mini mal with all the movability of a shortboard. The way I can work over white water patches is simply amazing. I was recommended by several stores to go for the 5'3, however, I wanted to cover weaker conditions easier along with more rail. Money well spent!!
