Bought this at 6’4” as my first “short board” after learning on a 7’6” mini mal. Great first board to size down on. Paddles well but still feels more like a shortboard compared to the mini mal

Hi, I bought this board a few weeks ago and loved the design. It took a lot to get used to the board at first but now I love it and I’ve got the hang of it. Overall I would definitely recommend this board for teens and young adults.

Tryed Rad ripper with large Fanning fins firstly as a thruster and all it wanted to do was go in a straight line. Changed to mediums and it went unreal. Also used it as a quad and also needed to use medium sized fins. Because it gets windy at times in Vicco i found that the rad ripper had a certain glide to it when paddling in on wind swept days.It went great in down the line waves like Winkipop also. Not a bad shortboard for guys who are getting older and need a little volume under the chest.

Took this board to Hawaii at the start of February before Covid. It was my short board. Had some great sessions at Rocky Rights , Backyards, Velzyland and Makaha. This board was really good for me in 3-5ft. Good waves. Thoroughly recommend this board as a step up. Perfect travel board.

Such a fun little board. Super quick and lively if you ride it as a quad in smaller stuff but still handles really well when it gets a bit bigger if you switch to a 2+1 or thruster setup. Highly recommend it to surfers of all ability levels.

This is my favorite board of all time. It rides like you have cheat codes on. Definitely excels when the waves are 4ft and under, but I've also ridden it in 8ft+ indo and it can still hold it's own.
