Great board for good waves. Plenty of drive and hold. Surprisingly loose in smaller waves. Traveller is the perfect name for this board.

From the moment I put it in the water I loved it! Super fun board. Plenty of speed down the line and didn't have to work too hard to create speed. Responsive and easy to turn, and paddles well. A great all-rounder, but definitely feel like it comes to life on those better 3-4 ft + days

Absolute best board ever. Had lots of boards over the years.Best board to paddle, early entry, turns great, stable. even duck dives really well.Even at 46 litres it doesnt look chunky or feel chunky. For me its an age appropriate board, I cant remember feeling so confident on a board & having so much fun in a long time.surfed in well overhead & waist high . I have the EPS version off the rack. I'm waiting on a hip replacement & still enjoy this board. It will be my go to board for the foreseeable futue. I love the way lots of volume is hidden on the deck/nose area. Puts a smile on my face everytime I use it.

I bought the entity for more solid surf and haven't been disappointed. It draws the same lines as a fish, while allowing for deeper, tighter turns. I tried it with futures f6 + blackstix fins and HS generation series quads. The HS felt looser while also giving the board good drive (the blackstix felt a bit sluggish to me). Solid, quality construction, these boards are made to last. Highly recommended.

DO NOT GET THE HYFI. All models i have got of this board have broken in the exact same spot, a crease going from the truck to the rail. A crease from Rail to Rail without fail. I have been told its because of the terrible glassing they do in indonesia. Just if you're going to get this board, get the normal model, not the HYFI

Great all round board for Victorian waves. Good volume ratio in the nose and tail to allow for nice carving turns as well as pumping through fat sections. Although the board is very capable, it feels slightly floaty in bigger waves and for tight turns, but that doesn’t compromise the fact that it is a all round board. Feels great on the backhand as well as forehand.

Overall the quality was immaculate, and I think the movability is definitely the strongest point of the board. It makes it extremely easy to use even for a beginner. The paddle power is what I would rate next highest followed by the drive which feels incredibly natural and not at all forced. Finally the stability is what I would rate as perhaps the weak point which is to say not bad at all. However, the stability may also be due to my own beginner level and inexperience with the sport. Over all it’s incredible and I loved it.

Rad all round board. Handles well in decent size or the small stuff. If I was to buy again I would go slightly longer due to my height, but still have a heck of a lot of fun on this one. Highly recommended. Much more fun as a thruster than a quad but that's just my preference. ✌️
