What we say
The stand out feature of these boards is the deep 10mm double concave on the bottom of the board. A patented design, they increase lift and make you feel like you’re riding a narrower board than you are.
The 9’6″ is best for beginner to intermediate SUP surfers and they’ll notice the forgiveness and ease of balance and use when riding the board. A rider who is between 70 and 85 kg with limited experience on the waves would be best suited.
The 10’6″ is a little more refined and requires some experience already if heading out into the waves. The sensitivity and turning ability is noticeable compared to other boards of its size and it surf really smooth thanks to the weight. Our recommendation would be for riders with prior wave experience who weigh between 80 and 90kg.
The fin was a little loose when screwed in, the deck pad slightly slippery and the weight is heavy, but you get good value for money with the package and aboard that can perform across different disciplines.
List Price includes Board, Board bag, Full Carbon one Piece Oval Shaft Paddle, Honeycomb Fin Set and Leash. Paddle can be removed from package for £200.
