Vids of my 1st day on it, then some different size waves over the past few months.

At first I rode it with the stock fins, but it didn't turn me on.... it felt sticky.

I decided to give it another chance.... so I swapped out the center fin for a smaller 5.75" fin (more of a Thruster set-up)

WOW, what a difference.... it totally changed the board, so much fun!
Now it has a solid place in my favorites :)

at 235 lbs (106 kg) I am at a "weight to volume" ratio of 1.35 (1.18 on the 8'10)
Lighter surfers will not find it as tippy as I do. Stable, but has the Sunova "low rail" dip.

The funny thing is.... it is very relaxing for long sessions, in less than perfect conditions.

note:
I have ridden the 8'10 Steeze (8'10 x 30 @ 125 liters) and found it to be a ripper!
So much smaller than the 9'5 but still an easy board to surf, considering it is at another performance level.
