Board felt great right from the start. Goes just as they say it will, very easy to surf and seems to generate its own speed. I went for a couple of Litres higher volume than my normal board short board and it suits perfectly.

The puddle jumper has performed better than expected in all areas. I'am very excited about riding it on up coming trip to indo.

Good very small wave board. Drives down the line well, even on mush. Seems to prefer a flatter face to barrelling waves. Turns well. Wide tail, works well as a quad (extra speed), but benefits from the nubster to stop the tail drifting too much.

Paddles superbly. I'm getting into waves earlier than on my old shortboard (6'2"" John Carper NX-1) with speed right from take-off. Finding I can hold much more speed through big drawn out carves. Feel like I'm surfing better and really driving through turns rather than nursing them. Had some incredible surfs in 3-5ft beach break. Holds really well in punchier low tide waves and I've had enough volume to carve up the faces when it's been fuller-tide. Only time I haven't loved it is when it's been barely 2ft. Thought I'd see how it went and it was ok, but would have had more fun on my Seaglass Albacore finless. Didn't buy it as a proper groveller and it's not. Been riding it as a thruster with Futures AM1 Blackstix. Haven't tried it as a quad.

Super fast, nimble board! Haven't even considered taking any other board out since this guarantees maximum fun in 1-5ft surf!

Best board I've ridden, great in the tube and on smaller fat waves as a quad. Once it gets over head I would ride as thruster. It's supper fast with heaps of volume which makes it very forgiving!

This board flies down the line set up as a quad on chest high and a little above waves, i've not had to many chances to use it in above head high as a thruster but love having the option to switch it up when I want to with the FCS 2 plugs. It's a great summer board in Sydney so far!

I have ridden this board exclusively for 3 months trying to get my head around what it is doing and to be honest can't figure it out! Being a new board and shape to the Aust market I read allot of reviews that raved how good it is etc; I beg to differ I find the board lacks manoeuvrability and feel under foot. I have tried multiple fin combinations to try and get it to agree with my style of surfing but nothing has worked. I think allot can be said for home grown talent and shapers. The American Market is allot different to the Aust hence the boards are accordingly. I ordered the board with strong glassing and the deck hasn't got a flat spot on it. I am currently trying to sell the board as it doesn't work! Well for me anyway. Give me a DMS any day!!!

This board carries speed over flat sections and paddles well above its weight. More responsive than my dumpster of the same size.
