Favourite board for surfing those less inspiring waves but still being able to manoeuvre exceptionally. Would highly recommend getting this board for a step down because it performs so well. There’s only one thing I don’t like about this board and that’s the FCS fin boxes, lost fins out in the water and would much prefer futures!!!

This is a sick board super fun and easy to ride. Paddles like an absolute dream and has the ability to carve some nice fun long lines. Would suggest this board to someone’s who’s wanting to jump onto their first shorter bird or someone who wants to have some old school fun! My favourite board in my quiver, shifted my from riding thrusters back to the old trusty twinny!

I absolutely love this board. As a taller more top heavy kinda guy, I have had troubles with the sturdiness and buoyancy of other boards in the past. This changed the game. It felt so clean getting onto waves and is mobile as soon as I've snapped up. I have had success on 3 foot days as well as 6 foot days with this board, that's I never really bought too many boards before but my cousin had this board and let me try it, within a couple of weeks I had one of my own - it's insanely versatile. Sometimes I dream about this board... It's just so damn good. This is the board version of Dua Lipa in my mind. I am in love with this board.

Fantastic board! It’s pretty much replaced my entire quiver. I’ve crunched it a couple times into some bigger sets and the nose hasn’t flinched. I think because of this, it really kicks on the takeoff. I can confirm Aaron’s review that it probably isn’t a board that really boasts its form in anything less than 3ft, but by all means can definitely handle it. Those in the intermediate to highly skilled range will definitely enjoy riding this board. Very intuitive feel and I definitely recommend it

Very fun board to surf, has good speed and manoeuvrability. Perfect to surf as a quad on average - good Gold Coast beach breaks. Have a 6’2 performance board that has been collecting cobwebs since buying this weapon.

Since riding my first one up at HPC, I am totally in love with this board. Great comp board for high performance with good volume for reasonable paddling, Love riding this board!

The Rad Ripper is a great little board. I would probably have gone with the 6.0 if I had my time over. I underestimated the buoyancy with the extra width of this board and would recommend this board be purchased at or a little below your ideal volume for experienced surfers. It is fast and responsive and handles not so perfect conditions well. The only negative I have is I am catching a rail now and then on backhand bottom turns. It maybe a covid thing though as I have been drinking a lot more beer and it maybe affecting my timing. A few fin changes have been crucial also, I find it way prefers a more upright fin like the Reactor. The more swept fin seems to just want to drive down the line looking for the end.

I ordered this custom through Gary. He was easy to deal with and prompt with communication. I offered suggestions as to dimensions for a step up Entity Pin. He thought they sounded good so I went ahead. I got the stringerless PU with carbon rails. This board works so well as a step up. In bigger, hollower waves it just sticks on the face with the rail holding in. It still turns easily and is manoeuvrable, just less so than my daily shortboard, but that is to be expected. It also doesn't float/paddle as well as my shortboard, but that's a firewire helium that's insanely light and buoyant. It does duckdive a million times better. The quality of this board is excellent. It was packed perfectly for transport and my nearly hundred kilo weight hasn't compressed the deck in any way. Thoroughly recommended.
