With all the hype around last week and only being able to paddle Lairds boards on flat water I was itching to see how the boards felt on a wave.
I took the 9'6 x 28 7/8" for a spin this morning in 2-3' beachies to see if it lived up to the hype.
There is a lot going on under the bonnet of this board with its 'fine' pin tail, quads that clustered like they want to morph into each other and a massive single concave up front, under a rather large, potato-crisp-thin nose.
I will write a review after a few surfs but in a word or two - Fun, fast and very stable. This board was a real surprise!
Hopefully we will also have the 10' and 10'6 to demo next week
