Best board ever Had a 6’0” Cymatic as well before putting on some kilos and up sizing The cymatic is super fast and manoeuvrable, plenty of paddle and super fun to ride. Probably suit experienced surfers More but could still be used by learners as it holds its width due to the wider nose Super fast even in weaker waves and holds in well in larger hollow let surf possible due to the channels and bat tail

I love this board so much that i use it pretty much everyday even in small surf, as long as the waves are a bit punchy this board flies down the line and pivots pretty well too. At first i wasn't really sure about it mainly cause of the bold nose and i was hanging more towards the Scifi, but after doing some research and watching some reviews i went for it and i haven't looked back since. still figuring out the right fins setup for this board which has been a fun proces

Super duper electric board. Mad fun in almost all conditions and sizes. Tends to draw out longer carves than top to bottom turns. Great board to swap fins in and out. So many personalities. The only downer is the construction is weak.

Board paddles and rides great. Heaps of response off the lip and plenty of drive. I have had it for about 2 weeks so still feeling it out. Be aware though I have grace concerns for the build quality. One of the first sessions it made contact with my elbow near the nose putting a 8cm split in the glass and then after on two weeks the rear left fin box has blown out. Ripped completely out of the board with no unusual impacts. Out of my 18 years riding surfboards I’ve never ripped a fin box clean out and I’ve hit my fair share on sand/rocks/various body parts. I am currently waiting on a response from FireWire in regards to warranty covering or not.

Very fast board that will get through the fat sections ,float over the crumbly sections and then drive on down to pull a screamer cut back. My wave count has gone up since riding this board.

I wasn't too sure about getting this board mainly cause of the bold nose, so i almost bought the Sci-Fi instead but after doing a lot of online research i decided to get it and i haven't looked back since. i use it pretty much everyday even in small surf from 1 to 2 foot, as long as the waves are a bit punchy this board goes really well, it flies down the line with very little effort and it pivots pretty well too. it is recommended playing around with fins combining different sets in the quad rears.

Much smaller than I’d normally ride (I’m 90kg and 6 foot tall) but has the volume of my 6’5 step up. My 5’9 Cymatic paddles into double overhead waves easily. Definitely use as a quad for larger waves and thruster for anything up to head high. Extremely fast as a quad to beat large sections if needed. Still very loose if you push it in turns. It can slide easily as a quad but still controlled. In smaller waves as a thruster, it is still fast and skateboard loose when right on the tail. It will go anywhere you point it. It prefers wallier waves over fat waves. Significant rocker slows the board a little through fat sections. Order with volume rather than size. Even go a size smaller to maximise rails biting as it has reasonably thick rails which you want to bite into the wave rather than bounce out and ride flat through turns. Takes a little time to get used to but when it clicks! Wow! Very fun once you work it out. I also have a 5’9 Omni for when the waves are not as wally. Incredible designs which are small under foot but funner than anything I’ve ridden. Happy ripping

I love this board. When my back foot is on the back of the tail paid it's insane But that is my biggest gripe. Getting my back foot all the way back every time is something I personally struggle to do. And it is a nightmare to turn with the foot 2 or 3 inches out of position. I consider this my issue, but for those looking to buy that done always have their feet positioning perfect Look for something more forgiving. But again when that foot it back it turns on a dime and so far in the month I have had it I have had some nice fast barrels I wouldn't have normally made. It's live love/hate for me. Hopefully I can get that back foot back more consistently
