Thumbs Up

I've been running the new reactor for about a month now and have 1, got used to the board, and 2, used it in all conditions, from waist high beachies, to over mast high point breaks.
So I thought I'd share what I think of the board.
Firstly the new reactor looks different, being 215cm long and 61cm wide (87 liters) it's short and fat, and some people might think it won't work in waves over head high, or in DTL conditions, which couldn't be farther from the truth.
It does work good when the waves are crap, because it turns so good, but it works better when the waves are good, because it turns so good!
It gybes awesome, gets planning early, and is easy to loop because the nose is so short.
There are some cons also, which are.
It takes a few sessions to get used to, its hard to tack on, and if the waves are big and bumpy it can be handful.
But it rips in up to mast high clean waves.
I just wanted to share my new stoke!
