This board is fast and loose. Holds in off the bottom real nice, tested up to double overhead. Tendency for fins to release off the top when I’m not expecting it but I probably just need more practice. Pretty stoked with the board all round. Paddles so easy in big and small surf.

Performs as states in model description online, consistent, fast, fluid and plenty of drive. I have surfed it in 1ft-4ft in the last month, pretty happy. One of the rare boards that i've ridden and wouldnt change anything

Surfs well in crappy conditions, plenty of rail, turns tight in the pocket. Easy to paddle and d dive. Perfect board for less than perfect days like the many we get here in Manly.

The diamond dancer had a whole lot of speed straight away as well as a really skatey kind of feel which was a little weird at first. After a few waves however, I was really enjoying myself. I first rode it as a thruster at a shallow reef break in fun 4ft(ish) and straight from the take off the speed the board had would just shoot you off down the line which made it really easy to make/get around faster sections and allow for big turns straight off the bat. I felt a good amount of drive through bottom turns and found the board more than capable of getting up to and letting loose in the lip. Paddles really well, super fast, manoeuvrable, bit of a quiver killer once you get used to the skatey feel that comes with the wide deck in a shorter board.

I have only surfed my new board on 3ft waves, paddled really well, catches waves the best I have ever had, really easy, turned beautifully. I cant wait to try it out on some bigger waves.
