It’s a great board for catching waves on sweepy point breaks, like when the GC gets good!

Great all-rounder board, with a curvy outline that also makes it a good board for better conditions. The HYFI construction has great durability. I love the release and playfulness that I get out of the design, specially on my backhand. Would definitely recommend the JS FCS2 fin template to be ridden with it. If I had to get another one, I would probably go for a smaller size though, as I am small lighter guy.

My first twinnie. Super fast, super fun. Good amount of volume to ride smaller waves. Surfed it to 4ft no worries. Just a cruisy super fun board.

My favourite step down groveller. Heaps of paddle power and super quick. Turns on a dime, I’ve enjoyed riding most as a 2+1 set up. Glassing is really soft but that’s the trade off for a board as responsive and light as this. Goes best in 3ft and under.

Great design, surfs amazing in the pocket where the extra rocker works well. If your more of an advanced surfer you will love it. 3 to 6 foot surf suits it best.

All around great board, much more manoeuvrable than anticipated. Loosey goosey when you need it to be, and locks into a line when you need the speed. Pretty sensitive which was also a nice surprise. Rides like performance shortboard but with all the style of yesteryear

Having seen Rasta and Dane tearing on this board I wanted to give it a go, I have always loved quads but the RTT is faster with more drive, with a big set of fins this board is crazy fast but with hold as well, I surf this board like a quad or thruster and it feels the same. I ride this board more than any other in Sydney, it’s still short so I can fit it into smaller pockety rip bowls but loves an open wall as well. I’ve had a lot of standard glass job boards that have really worn out in a few seasons, this one has a decent amount of glass and after a year still looks and rides the same as new.

The board is excellent for someone transitioning from something a little thicker and wanting to step up their performance in everyday waves. In saying that, this board has held its own in solid conditions and has performed without hinderance in overhead surf. The only improvement I could see for futures models is a little more foam under the chest to generate better paddle power as I’ve found myself tiring easier during sessions because a lot of energy is going into paddling. Overall great board and would definitely recommend.

Awesome board perfect for the wide variety of waves and still super fun when it picks up into the overhead size. Had for two years and have barely any cracks which is awesome for the amount of boards I go through. All round sick board would highly recommend.
