I love this board. When my back foot is on the back of the tail paid it's insane But that is my biggest gripe. Getting my back foot all the way back every time is something I personally struggle to do. And it is a nightmare to turn with the foot 2 or 3 inches out of position. I consider this my issue, but for those looking to buy that done always have their feet positioning perfect Look for something more forgiving. But again when that foot it back it turns on a dime and so far in the month I have had it I have had some nice fast barrels I wouldn't have normally made. It's live love/hate for me. Hopefully I can get that back foot back more consistently

I love this board. Great for smaller waves and really helped my progression as an early surfer with that added volume. I still use it now and find it quite manoeuvrable and a lot of fun.

Can’t say enough good things about this board. Any conditions any time. It is on song. Unbelievable performance and perfectly balanced to get me into any wave I choose. Never a dull day on this board. An essential part of my quiver.

Being a big tall bloke i have struggled to find a board perfectly balanced for me. This board gives me surprisingly good paddle power and gets me into waves. With that being said I’m able to ride a shorter board than in the past improving my own performance. I have faith that the board will perform as I request without giving it a second thought. I have ridden a lot of different short boards & hybrids but this board nails it for me.

It is an amazing board light easy to carry and handles big waves very well but still has the ability to catch the smaller waves when you are wanting to just relax. Amazing for photography the colour is great, and easy to spot on the crowded waves

Best all rounder I have surfed for Sydney waves. This board surfs great in 1 to 4 ft waves (majority of waves that East coast oz has to offer), easy surfboard to surf, generates plenty of speed to get through fat sections and is well able to assist you with top to bottom surfing as an everyday driver.

Awesome board, works really well on the reefs 4-5'+ It's my new go to board for 4'+ waves and it'll be sitting there ready for my next OS trip - when we can go.
