Our RCMD rider weight: 95kg
Board weight: 8.95kg
Fin set up: 2+1
Pros: It's so stiff, which makes surfing and paddling out easy. 4" thickness and fin setup gives it so much grip, drive and control. Its 32" width makes the board easy to stand on.
Cons: For some lighter riders wanting to push it harder the 32" width could be a drawback.
Consider buying if... you are looking for a board to get into the surf for the first time and you weigh up to 85kg, or you're an improving surfer weighing up to 95kg. Beginners from 85kg and over should look at the Starboard Surf 9'5".

What the brand says
“SURFING ON AIR”
The new 8’7 ” x32” is based on the composite Wedge board of the same size. Its width provides all the stability necessary and the shorter length make the board more maneuverable.
We just pumped up the action with our inflatable surf paddle boards. We’ve introduced Woven Fusion Technology and Double Chamber Construction, maximizing stiffness and getting that hardboard feel.
Based on our classic surf composite outline, the narrow nose does not get caught through turns, the wide standing area gives stability and pulled in tail makes for reactive turning.
Thanks for the review. I really hated the surfing back ground song though. Usually I like your music choices
Thanks Cam, Music choice noted 🙂
