Love my stump. Perfect when you want something that gives you the confidence to throw yourself into big shorebreak without the fear of getting fibreglass to the head. Went okay in smaller crumbly stuff but actually loved it most on a good medium size clean days. Not the best paddler but despite the short length packs plenty of float for 80kg.

It was my mates board and from what I experienced when using it I loved it it was pretty easy to get onto waves and stand up on for someone who’s somewhat of a beginner and has only really surfed foamies

Hi, I first bought this board a few months back and gave a seething review on it. I was having all sorts of problem with rail dig. I had some Large FCS 2 Super Fins which I started with both quad and thruster(L).I could not get it to go so I bought a set of Bilos more upright fins tried in good conditions both quad and thruster)L) and still could not work this thing out. I was about to send it back and just say keep it, I don't want it. I held off my hasty irrational thought and next time in the water, good beachies again, I chucked in my old Gorilla FCS 2 fins (m) Guess what - The Ripper went off. I surfed until my arms dropped off and could not wipe the smile off my face. Sorry Mayhem for my initial review, it just goes to show that fin choice can really make that much difference. I am stoked to have a friend in the shed that I look at through different eyes now. Regards Liam Sidney

Great one board quiver! Chuck in a set of quads for the onshore days and then throw in single fin when it starts to pump. This board has handled everything I have thrown at it and it is a must-have for every trip I go on.

I picked this board up second hand and will definitely pick up another when its done. It's really made me enjoy riding the generally smaller waves where I live and surf. Good paddle power and unloads nicely off the fins out of the bottom turn, good for snaps and cutbacks. I'd like to try a longer version in some bigger waves and see if it gave me the same results. The future flex epoxy is tough and its lasting well. My go to board for everything until it reaches my lack of ability in the big stuff. I'd recommend it to anyone. The tapered tail out of the continuous rail curve really loosens it up. I love it.

Super lively fun board. Not just for average days either. Holds it own in anything up to 6ft and draws nice lines off the bottom. I recommend!
