Great all round board. Excellent volume under chest for paddling into waves. Low rocker provides speed but still very good manoeuvrability. Mainly use in 3-4 foot surf but was also brilliant in double overhead Indo. Was told this was a good alternative to the Hypto Krypto as a versatile board. That it has been!

At 3' - 4' this board sits excellent! Holds on the rails really well and drives down the line without a hitch. I have been setting it up as a quad and couldn't be happier with its performance.

This thing does just what the specs page on this website says it will do. It goes like a rocket. Paddles about as near to a longboard as you could expect from a weird little board - glides along using its volume without feeling like a boat on the face of the wave. The beak or low entry rocker is perfect for low slanting summer waves. The twinnie tail allows for plenty of pivot - more than I've ever had before in a thruster (never ridden a twinnie before and, without a word of a lie, it actually makes you surf like Asher Pacey!). The most fun you can have in under 6 ft surf!

This board is all that l thought it would be. Easy to paddle into waves, easy to manoeuvre.light to carry.My reason for buying this board was to continue the performance type surfing and still be able to run to the nose if l like. I’m 63 and find wear and tear on my shoulders and arms has taken a toll after 50 plus years of surfing. This for me is the next step to keeping the stoke going. Just had a surf this arvo in waist to chest high waves, the board is light enough to smash lips and drive down the line. Cheers Phill.
