My wife had a 2009/2010 SB 10'5 drive for about a year (until I traded it in for a new board for me

) It was a great board for her (and friends) to learn on, construction was great. It was much lighter than my Naish 9.5 mana (the wife is using this now).
The only drawback she found with it was that it was very flat in the nose and she had a tendency to nosedive it when catching a wave. The 2010/2011 model has slightly more rocker to stop this happening, so should be a pretty good board.
She was very sad to see it go (I on the other hand was very pleased to get my new SB 9'1 pro).
