“The stability on this board is awesome which was somewhat surprising due to the relatively narrow tail. The solid feeling makes it a no brainer and anyone can get on it and immediately haul.
“It tracks better than almost any other board due to the large boxy rails that are hard and sharp at the waterline. The board nosed through the chop with confidence and the flat rocker provided terrific glide — just as the name implies. The pads are super comfy too.
“Cold? Nah. I wore my O’Neill 3/2 Gooru and my O’Neill 6/5/4mm Mutant Internal Split Toe booties, the finest cold water booty, bar none.
