100 8'2"Foam Surfboard with Leash

I bought this board (last years model at excellent value sale price same dimentions)at the start of winter UK, mainly with a view as a catch all waves family summer board for days at the beach. Went on it a few times in winter and it felt good, Im a shortboarder so not used to

surfing big boards, one does have to ride larger boards and re learn turns etc. Fast forward to now August- its been an amazing board, perfect for summer waves, Ive sussed out how to ride/trim and turn the larger board. Its really kick started my surf stoke as I know il get decent rides even in small waves. It catches waves, turns ok, glides fast, paddles fast Im 89kgs and knee paddle it easy! ideal for bigger riders, stacks of volume. Seasoned surfer or beginner- this board offers pure stoke no joke!

Technically not a buyer - I hired the board from a surf school/rental place in Portugal. Having owned a surf school myself for 25 years I have bought every type of softboard out there: Swell, NCS, Tiki, Skunk, Circle One, Alder, Greco, Mega, etc, etc. Without question this is

the best performing I have surfed: Stable, fast and holds in the wave well thanks to rigid (with safe edges) fins. Concave deck is surprisingly a very useful design feature aiding paddling position and helping with stability. The surf school owner tells me that everyone loves how this board surfs! I’m only on here to look at replacing my stock of boards - that should tell you how impressed I am!
