This board definitely loves the more powerful surf than the average sloppy beach conditions. Once the waves get around head high the board really comes to life. It's not a bad all rounder but does get a little bogged down in the mushy conditions and hard to connect turns. Overall super fun to ride but now only use it when the waves turn on.

Bought this board in the hope of finding the perfect all rounder - and it was just that. Board paddles super easily and covers such a broad spectrum of waves. Have ridden it in sloppy 1-2ft beach breaks to 3-5ft point breaks and covers the range well. It does prefer a slightly more open face wave with a bit more push behind it, but has a lot to like about it in the mushy stuff. If you're after an all round board, this is definitely for you.

This board paddles great and the extra L helps get you in early but I find the rails too soft. The board is made to cruise and it does that well but I find it too buttery and don't like riding it when it gets bigger. Better for softer days.

Best board I’ve owned. Paddles really well and is super responsive under foot. Works in any size wave and any condition. Couldn’t recommend more.

An awesome all round board that can be used in nearly any condition whether it’s shoulder high or double overhead, this board can take it on with ease. It’s shape allows big drives on solid faces and it feels like you have maximum control on a wave. An awesome step-up board that I would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic board for the small days on the North West Coast of Tasmania where the waves are grovelly most days. This things can get you up and going with ease on almost nothing, speed is no issue and it doesn’t mind laying into a rail on the better days.

The best board I have owned. Paddles well. So fast, it just seems to make sections I haven't made before. Turns well when the back foot is in the right position. Having such a wide tail I have found my foot needs to be just right to get maximum fun. The board has seen a few 8' days and it managed but the tail of course was struggling. It surfs best in 2'-5'. I surf it as a quad always. I wouldn't change a thing.

This board goes really well in small crumbly waves but also pops off when you get into the big days.
