This board is a perfect option for good surfers wanting a smaller board option for slab type beachies and reefs up to 6ft, but also who want a board that is still responsive enough that you can change your line easily in the barrel and still release the fins and do big punts! I ordered the slab 2inches shorter, 1/2 inch wider and same thickness as my go to shortboard. However, next time I won't order it wider as it's fuller nose and fuller rails overall give plenty of paddle speed and buoyancy over flat sections of the wave. But if you are an average surfer than definitely go the extra 1/4 or 1/2inch width as Jon Pyzel suggests. I got a round tail and it holds in sick in slabby barrels and it punts good too, more stable for landing airs than my Pyzel Grunt model. Sick board !

Board felt amazing first surf ! Never had a board feel so good first wave. Goes great in sub-par waves less than perfect conditions from 2ft-6ft. The description on the Boardcave website explains what this board is best for and is pretty much spot on. If you are a good surfer you would ride this board comfortably at stock dims or an inch or two shorter. If you are an average surfer you would be best to order the Pyzel Slab which is a little more of a groveller with some high performance aspects. I ride small boards for my size so ordered it an inch shorter so to allow me to ride this board as a high performance shape but still good for grovelling in smaller waves and for punts.

Absolutely loving this board as my step up but can still take it out in all conditions. The board comes into its own when riding anything above 3 foot whether it pitching or crumbly. Great to paddle into waves and I have never had a board that feels so stable under foot.

Honestly the best board I've owned! Very versatile, good in weak waves and still performs when it's solid. Basically a one board quiver.

Awesome board on its rail, bit slow on full waves compared to my Webber afterburner but beats it everywhere else. Love the extra rocker in hollow waves.
