Finally here, The new 2018 F-One SUP's are here and they are bang on!!

Rode the new F-One Taiba this morning for the first time and to say i was impressed is an understatement. Although the 9'2 is much bigger than what i'm used to riding and has a stack more volume the board was not at all "twitchy". The chimed rails still soften the board up even in the bigger sizes. This year they have bought the sharper rail profile a little further forward and trimmed just the right amount of volume from the tail.

The whole pin tail thruster thing just makes this board super fun to ride in any conditions although this morning i was well and truly under finned. With a set of 4.0 Fastlight's in it (including the matching centre) it just lacked a little grip. This being said in the messy 3-4ft it was super fun.

The board has stacks of paddle speed for its size and width and was capable of picking up almost anything. Unlike previous F-One boards i found that the deck was super workable, You can quite easily get right up on the nose to pump it down on the fuller waves and the response as soon as you transition back is fantastic.

There construction is second to none and with the bamboo deck the feedback through the board is positive and comfortable while there weight is spot on.. F-One's Deck grip has to be one of the most comfortable on the market and is super soft under toe but still retains heaps of grip. This is a board you will be comfortable standing on for those longer sessions.

Yes i do sell these boards but just wanted to share my opinion of the board. They will not suite everyone and are far from a full performance style board however, they are a super fun versatile surf SUP. Check em out when you get a chance, They are well worth a look.
