Initial thoughts/expectations
Bizarre, weird with no rocker, felt weird at first on a high tide session but after two waves the flow came in and the combos came too!
Ride experience:
Works in everything pretty much any conditions, I like how you do airs sometimes and you disappear in the whitewash the board has enough volume to get you in front of the white wash again and complete a maneuver with good flow. That’s my first thought on my first good ride.
Strengths: Volume gives you extra pop and it’s fast on rail works really good on rail!
Weaknesses: No complaints just like any board loses its spice as I use it more and more but I surf A LOT!!
Summary Helps you with rhythm and flow between rail turns, it’s fast, maintains!!!
