Great semi step up. I don't surf huge waves but it get's powerful in WA. Anything chest to double overhead it gets you in early and feels gunny. it almost surfs more like a snowboard in that you surf it off the rails more and it just turns for you then you jam your foot on the tail at the end of your turn so it takes some getting used to. Great board, you just have to think more about where your putting your weight else you kook it a bit more...

This is the board Ive been looking for, for quite sometime. 4 boards later, (6’3”, 6’6”, 7’2”, 40 litres 5’’9” epoxy), and the perfect machine appears, Thanks Kelly & Tomo). Waist to head high, I’ve surfed this board in thruster formation - super loose. Every thing I asked it to do, it did. Take off is really good for an old bloke. This board makes the latest of drops and gives me time to get set and then a quick turn and I’m around the foam and into the face, off and racing. Simple to turn but its still quite stable. I have felt so relaxed surfing this board that I even enjoy sharing waves. I used to struggle paddling into waves and competing with the younger surfers. I looked for more volume and more length but still didn’t achieve what I needed, (paddle power and manoeuvrability). Finally, the Cymatic appeared and it has allowed me to get my confidence back competing with the younger surfer, taking off in the more critical wave positions and making sections using the board’s manoeuvrability and drive / speed to help me. I recommend the Cymatic to the older surfer who still wants to surf a performance board before the inevitable Father Time makes you move to the long board and soul surfing, (I may not slash and turn like I used to but I can drive hard off the bottom and cut under the lip before driving into my next section.. Surfing maybe a sport but it is also a lifestyle. the Cymatic 5’11” has helped rejuvenate my love of the ocean and surfing. Yallingup, Trigg, Toms, Guillateen’s.... its just the beginning. I cant wait for COVID to get under control and try this board in Bali at my favourite spots. I’m very confident and supported with the Cymatic as my traveller board. Good luck and enjoy what you do and have faith the Cymatic may be your last board. I love mine and cant see myself riding anything else in the next ten years.

Great board for fast beachies or reefs. Get your feet in the right spot and it flies and does the funnest turns on your forehand. You have to obviously change things up on your back hand and does Twinny things, but it's not too bad once you get used to it. A different feeling and very addictive once you get the hang of it. It's really flat so not so great in ledgey waves. If I was a natural footer and lived on the sunshine coast or goldy or NSW bam get it. . I live in SW WA but still super fun. Makes me want to get more performance twinnies and explore those more...It paddles so we'll and almost feels like your cheating getting into waves where regular dudes on low volume shortboards are yelling F%#&k cos theyre struggling to catch waves.

Excellent board for grovelling and performance. I’ve had my Greedy Beaver for 2 years now and it’s my go to board. I’m still learning so it gives me the extra paddle power but still easy to duck dive. The tail is very narrow which gives it a performance feel and allows you execute manoeuvres. Board is also very durable and made. Highly recommend.

Really love this board! I needed a board which I could tackle small waves up to 6’ and this little beauty hit the sweet spot

Heaps of volume up front which makes for easy paddling but hard to duck dive. I also find I have to get my front foot quite far forward to drop in on some steeper waves. Easy to paddle and learn on. Fast once you are up.

Solid little board quick of the bottom. Rode almost always as a quad with FCS Keel Quads. In bigger faster waves I had trouble sinking the rail but should/could have persisted with this as it would most likely have been fine.

It is my favourite board so far ! Great groveler that paddles easily and flies down the line. With rob machado quad fins it has plenty of hold and release when you need it. A must have in your quiver !

Bought this board in eps foam and has been a favourite ever since. Best in 2-3 ft surf and holds in really well in punchy surf due to the channels through the tail. The channels assist going rail to rail and avoid the sliding but will still go sideways when pushed. Forward volume and wide point make this board super fast from the off and it flies down the line. I bought the board for summer but had been hard to get off, although overhead surf makes the surfing sketchier ! Would really recommend to anyone wanting a more high performing twin fin

Super easy board to paddle and really stable but still very manoeuvrable. Perfect for waves around 2ft, any bigger and this much volume becomes too hard to manage. Excellent quality and value for money
