It's early days. The board is fast and goes vert well. I'd prefer more drive off of the front foot and rail and to a related point, there's surprisingly much more paddle power than they give it credit for. It's very responsive going rail-to-rail. It could use a tad more stability but once you figure out where your feet go it's much more predictable.

Great board although team lite was a bit too light for me and did significant dings pretty quickly!

It goes extremely well! It's easily the best board I've ever had and it has made my confidence go through the roof since I started surfing it a month or so ago. Goes really well in heavy beach breaks, reefs, points and also handles the small fuller waves with ease. I'm so happy with the purchase!

The board performs really well and I am extremely happy with it. I have found the rocker to be a little flat on steep takeoffs, especially with the board tending to take off late on smaller waves. There is no issue on bigger waves as they have the power to propel the board more for a sooner takeoff. The board turns well but is a little sluggish compared to my narrower and thinner boards but I expected that and am happy with it.

This board carries speed over flat sections and paddles well above its weight. More responsive than my dumpster of the same size.

Performs amazing. I'm used to riding standard thrusters but the shorter/wider model is incredible. Really fast in smaller stuff and real manoeuvrable in bigger surf. I'm verging on a one board quiver. I bought the 5'8" which is perfect for me. Although I'm probably still a bit heavy to duck dive it as well as I would like to.
