I found the 28 red nose to be incredibly stable and caught the small runners very easily. As Rod from Starboard said on his maiden try "oh this is just cheating"!

I'm 95kg and it was responsive and not tippy at all and yet I took off! The board flex was interesting - designed to focus power. It was discernible but subtle. Made you feel part of the board. Super light and the recessed deck pad felt good under foot.

I didn't feel light I had to walk the board that much; I could simply shift my weight to get in to a wave.

I think I'm in love!
