This is a great board for small gutless days. It's got plenty of volume which makes it really easy to catch heaps of waves - definitely makes those small days a lot more fun. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of strength in the glass on the deck. After only 7 surfs this board already had 4 compression dings in the deck. What it's going to look like after a couple of years?

Great surfboard and for sure one of my favourites! I’ve had my seaside for 3 months and I’ve been surfing point, and beach breaks from 1-4ft. At Sunny Coast, the waves aren’t too powerful, so I opted for more volume to broaden the board’s range, and I’m happy with it. The features that brights me the most are drive, manoeuvrability, and paddle power. Super fun board in any conditions. I highly recommend it!

I purchased the 5'10 because my normal shortboard is 6'0 and I drive off my rail heaps so usually shorter boards are not drivey enough for my liking but due to the wider tail it keeps a straighter rail line which I enjoyed. It had 31.5 litres which is 3 litres more, if I had my time again I would have bought one with my usual volume then it would have surfed way better. It was a fun experiment trying this board as I've been shaping and riding my own boards for 15years it was just too floaty for me.

This board has been a solid thruster for me, I bought it as a slight step up from my high performance custom 5’11” and thought I wouldn’t be able to keep the same level of carving and manoeuvres do to increase in length and volume but it’s exceeded my expectations and is so quick and responsive running the JW aircore fcs fins. Definitely a favourite go to in head to over head high waves in at my local break Maroubra.

Had the puddlefish for 6 months and it took a while to figure out and feel comfortable but has been surfed in everything from weak 1ft beachies to punchy 4ft beachies, point breaks and slabby reefs, and was a blast in all of them. Ridden as a thruster, then quad but favourite by far for combo of max speed while still performing has been the twinny plus trailer set up. If you’re looking for something that’s super fun and a bit different to a standard fish/groveller, look no further!

A new favourite board for sure - the Squirty has been perfect for what I bought it for, which is a lot of paddle speed and getting into waves early and just having fun as an intermediate/experienced surfer. I deliberately bought it one size too big, to be honest, just for the wave count, but it still turns well, it isn't too hard to duck-dive, and it's been great in everything from waist-high to overhead waves. On the bigger days it feels really solid underfoot. It's also a bit of a specimen - the orange is pretty striking, but it's also really durable. A keeper, for sure.
