Really user friendly board that has allowed a beginner-intermediate to progress really quickly! Amazing paddle power and feels really stable when you’re up and riding which has boosted my wave count and confidence to keep developing and start putting together turns.

The bb3 goes great in surf with some push, usually 3 feet and over. Can tonight to get going and take off on gutless waves. Once going it flies, my first eps and I now understand the impact ofthe flex it has.

Great board for summer or any really full waves. Heaps of paddle power meaning you get so many waves but then it handles like a shortboard. Doesn't like steep waves much but can handles full waves up to 4ft-5ft

Absolutely love this board. After almost a decade of surfing sporadically I deluded myself into think I could ride something with lower volume but getting on this board showed me I was wrong straight away. It paddles really well, getting into waves much easier and with a plenty of speed. I also love how solid and responsive it feels in turns. Great overall board.

Incredible board, fast and responsive. You can really feel it under your feet wanting to carve big lines. Perfect for clean open faces especially when paired with some large keel fins. Fin boxes set toward the rear make it easy to pivot on your back foot and shifting forward a bit lets you transition from rail to rail easily. Paddling is great, catching waves feels like cheating and handles late drops nicely too. Construction/finishing is excellent, came with a wet sand finish. This is a quality board and well worth the price.

First short board after a 10yr break from surfing and boy am I happy with my choice. This has been a great confidence builder and would recommend to anyone getting their first short board. Found it best in waist to chest high but still can have fun on chopped up shories if conditions are sub par.

Great multipurpose board i use for local beach breaks and point breaks. Surfs well anything up to 4ft in my area. Lots of fun over waves and gets through whitewater and fat sections.
