Was my first "I'm getting old board". So nice knowing I've got the best board for the conditions each day. No-fuss. Fun, versatile and balanced, the V3 Rocket feels so refined you can't wrong it.

Plenty of float, fast and nimble great down the line speed. Surprisingly good hold, works well from 2ft to overhead great weapon of a board Yeww!

Have ridden this board for over a year now, in pretty much every kind of condition, using various fins. So this board is fast,like most twins are, not only fast, but super maneuverable, thanks to that pulled in tail. With different fin combos you could make it feel like a thruster with more speed, (future EN's), or if you like it loose and drivey putting a set of keels is great for those smaller weak waves. This board paddles unreal for the relatively short rail line, but generous amount of width and foam up front allows for getting in super early, which is great but if your late you need to be mindful not to catch that wide point on the drop. I am Surprised at how much ranged this board has, i have had some 4-6ft days in both beach and point breaks, and surprised how well it handled the conditions. The durability is its downfall IMO, the deck is full of compression, even with a tail pad and front deck grip, and id blown both fins box's over the course of the year as well as some other dings, the glass feels a little light... Would i still buy this board if i could go back? YESS It's a weapon and i feel it smoothed out my surfing, but didn't hold me back when i wanted to attack the wave like you would on a Standard short board. You can find a bunch of POV videos of me surfing this board on my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/raphjod

Awesome fun. Easy to paddle, super speedy and turns on a dime.

I love my board. My regular break runs along a rock ledge and varies from being small and fat to fast and sucky. My standard board would only go well when its good and the right wave, put that with being time poor I didn't get to surf much. Started teaching my daughter on a soft top so starting having a go on it and after a while was able to surf it and have some fun on it. So my thoughts went from getting a Mal for the small days to getting a fish. What a mind field. Ended up in a surf shop looking at boards and the guy in the shop steered me to the Loot and to or one of Slaters boards. I just loved the look of the Loot though. Now deciding on size was really hard with all the info. Was recommended to go with the 5'10" just to get more waves and because I wasn't surfing all the time. But the charts said 5'8" In the end I walked around the shop with both boards under my arm and the 5"8" felt right. I remember watching the short video of the loot with Jake Kelly and someone commenting that he was barely keeping control. Fast and furious surfing. Now I know why, the board flies. From my first wave it put a smile on my face. Im only surfing small waves but from the first turn it just took off and Im looking down the line thinking I can do what ever I want with this speed and its just a crappy little wave which I could only just surf on my standard board. Hence on a half decent wave you get so much speed you have to be ready to go from one move to another. My board brings a smile to my face whenever I think about it. I love it and hang out to go for a surf. Out of the water again with sciatic. Am hanging out. Memories of how fun it will be getting back when im better. Not being able to surf makes the surf sooooo much better when you finally can. Every one who surfs is so lucky, doesn't matter what they surf on or how good they are.

Nice looking resin work on my board, however, the rails on this board are way too thick/boxy making it very hard to get this thing on rail... might be best suited to beginners riding the white water 2/10

Best board ever Had a 6’0” Cymatic as well before putting on some kilos and up sizing The cymatic is super fast and manoeuvrable, plenty of paddle and super fun to ride. Probably suit experienced surfers More but could still be used by learners as it holds its width due to the wider nose Super fast even in weaker waves and holds in well in larger hollow let surf possible due to the channels and bat tail
