“I’ve ridden it at Lowers, Surf Ranch, a really good day in Ventura, a point in Hawai’i, and it felt good on my backhand at Uluwatu. Most excited I’ve been riding this board was in poor quality waves in Florida beach breaks.” – Kelly Slater
“The peakier the better — it’s short enough that it pivots incredibly while still holding speed, like no other board.” – Dan Mann
“Best in chest to head-high beachies. Point breaks too, but it excels most at beach breaks when the waves hit that chest to head-high size.” – Kevin Schulz
Characteristics
