hey guys

decided to pull the trigger on a new (second hand) board.
ive been looking for a step up, but stable board to get out back in big stuff and found this. It almost seems purpose built for it.
icant find a single review on the net and have never seen one in nz so most intrigued to try it.
Several things are very cool and unique about this so far!
dims: 8'6 x 29 x 4. 115l
nor carbon but only weighs 7'8kg inc quad fins and rail tape- so realistically around 7.5kg. A bit lighter than starboard star lite for an 8'5 pro of basically same dims.

1: rocker in the nose is relatively flat.only a real flip in the nose tip. Only flat water paddled it so far but seems to paddle fast and cleanly.
2: very flat deck, soo much nicer on the foot and easier to counter balance than domed decks. Didn't realise it until paddling this board compared to my existing ones- inc starboard 8'5 pro.
3: the three four fins! Anyone heard of these? It comes stock with this carbon quad set but here's the catch.. the back quad fins are a 50/50 foul which means you can take one out and use the other to make it in to a thruster set! My favourite fins are the am1's which big side fins and smaller centre fin so this was the coolest surprise.
4: deck seems to have a huge sweet spot. I could move feet parallel, Sufer stance, front / back and still counter the board quite easily. The test is of course in surf but flat water seems really stabile but agile at the same time.
5: never seen a stock paddleboard have such a pronounced pinny tail! The bottom contours seem almost flat for 3/4 board and then in to a rolled vee in the back 1/4. No presence of even a single concave unless its super super light.
6: for a non carbon board it is light but feels very solid. No push in the materials but paint seems to have chipped off easily from previous owner.
7: rails seem quite big for 4" thick but in the water it floats evenly and water laps my feet meaning they don't sit too high.

Cant wait to try it!
More details and reviews to come.
