Good honest review great summary

As a scaled down version of the Stinger, the Pocket Rocket really shined in the Surf, particularly among small to medium sized choppy and inconsistent waves (i.e. Euro conditions) being very lively and snappy in the turns. On the downside, the Pocket Rocket seemed to struggle somewhat in bigger glassy and hollow waves but this is a non-issue for a board apparently not targeted to these conditions. Expectedly, given the bias of the board, the Row Factor was moderate.  Also worth of mention is the Pocket Rocket’s good ability to catch waves but, again, bear in mind that this is true in relative terms, taking into account the other boards in its class that we’ve tested so far. If it’s big out there you really need a bigger board. Period
