Hi,
looking for reviews or info on this board please.

From the specs it's the length width & (light) weight I'm looking for. Main use will be longboard-style surfing. Question is - how does it ride? thanks.;

G'day mate, take this advice as you like as here's the disclaimer. I designed this board and also run the brand.

Ok, this board was designed to be the ultimate board that everyone can use. To prove my point I've put first time ever 55 year old ladies on it in the creek and 105 kg blokes that have surfed and they've been able to catch waves in their first surf. On the flip side it's a board that I ride and lots of other people surf by choice.

At around 90kg for me it rides micro waves, the width up front lets you glide forever and catch anything. Jump back on the narrower tail though and you are surfing off the rail.

It's stable, versatile and surfs great. Best bet is if you can to get a demo. Where are you?

Thanks for the reply and openness.

I'm a long time longboarder and have sup surfed for a couple of years now so way past beginner stage! I'm 90kg. I ride a 10x29 and want to go wider for stability in chop, and lighter would be good too. Don't want to lose the glide and easy wave catching of the 10!

The 9'8 seems to tick all those boxes but keen to know how well it surfs in waves up to head high, and if it noserides well. Been talking to the uk importer, and just wanted to get a feel for how the board surfs from someone who has spent time on one.

Cheers.
