From the website: Classic longboard shapes and rocker lines make even the smallest waves fun to ride. Thick and wide, it enables a wider range of rider weights and a quicker learning success for both stand up paddling and windsurfing. Flat deck design for stability and easy balance. Soft tucked under rail shape for easy turning at low speeds. Optional deck pad that can be applied with stick-on adhesive if desired. "Cover up" plug for the mast track.
Evaluators said:
"Catches waves quick and easy; accelerates well; cruises through the flat spots and maintains speed down the line. Stability not so hot when not moving" (Intermediate Male 220 lbs.)
"Serenely stable for a 10'6"; needs a bigger wave than we had" (Intermediate Male 140 lbs.)
