Hey guys, just wondering what your thoughts were on the Magic Carpet SUPs
Been surfing an 8'6 lately, seems almost too buoyant , really corky with no glide
Quick once ya get going, but tail seems a bit too wide to lean into turns??
Other than that pretty fun
Just wondering what your thoughts were on them?
Also what construction are they?
Cheers for you input

I have the 8'6 Magic Carpet and love it.

I have used it in 2ft to 6 ft and it is a nice board to surf, stable for my 92kg plus loose and fast.

I think you have to use the right fins..... i use the Pancho fronts and the controller rears and the board works well based on this setup.

I had the PSH 8'9 WR previously and found it a good board but probably rode the MC more as an allround board.

Great allround fun board
