Great board for my level. It handles well in consistent waves and feels stable when riding. The grip on the deck is solid and the board doesn’t flex too much. I’ve used it for several sessions this season and it’s holding up well.

Solid performance in medium waves. A bit harder to maneuver in smaller swells, but once you get the hang of it, it’s reliable. The weight is manageable and the construction feels durable.
