Bought this board for my son and boy is he lucky! Such a great board. It is way too small for me but it is still excellent to ride. It turns on a dime and has so much drive, you can really generate some speed very easily. The glassing job doesn’t seem to be the greatest as some cracks have appeared on the rails fairly easily. My little boy is very lucky this board is too small for me or he’d be losing his xmas present!

First impressions are that this is an exceptional board. I have only surfed it in small, summer slop but that’s what I bought it for. Excellent build quality I have only ridden it as a quad so far and it is super fast. Also a fast paddler and excellent to duck dive. This is a great board and I have fallen in love with it already. Can’t wait to ride it in some bigger waves and also keen to try it as a thruster set up.

Fun to ride with good paddle power, makes catching waves and building up speed down the line a lot easier. Perfect board to progress your surfing.

This board combined all of the good aspects of my quiver into a super versatile performance shortboard. Currently riding a 6'1" 35l with FCS2 large carbon Performers which seem to provide great drive and maneuverability. Foam distribution is fantastic with plenty under the chest for paddling into waves and the concave bottom running through to V in the tail enables smooth rail to rail transitions. All round great board for 2-6ft days.

Such a good board! Carries speed like no other and works so well in the pocket, so nice on rail on a good open face, holds perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.

This is my go to board when I wanna surf bigger and steeper waves. I get launched into them easy with its easy paddling capability. The shape can handle steep drops and the outline is great for turns and cuts closer to a pro model than a fun shape but with both advantages.

Awesome board, i surf it often in any kind of surf and it performs well with its volume and outline. The only time I choose a different board is when it's well overhead with a bit of chop. The speed it generates isn't always easy to Handle on those days and the fact I have an epoxy model doesn't make the choppy surface of the wave more pleasant. But other than that. A quiver killer.

I’m a 12 year old girl who is only just beginning but I can catch a ripple on this board. I stood up on my first day and on my second day ever actually rode the face not the white wash. Dad pushes me in but. I skate a lot so it came natural. Now I hit dad up all the time to go to the beach. I love my board

Love this board. Brought it for the Urban surf park in Melbourne and it fits beautifully in the pocket. I wanted a board that I could do a couple of sessions in a row on so 30 plus waves in 2 hours. It's got some great volume pushed forward under the chest and easy to paddle into. It holds well in the turns and I can still whip it around at 5'9. Great board for 2-4ft. I would highly recommend it.
