My Comments:
Rode this board in very light conditions and in small chop.( managed to find an occasonal small wave.)
Fin set up was a bit mixed bag with 2 x 60mm surf fins on the heel side rear and 2 x50mm std fins on the front end of the board.
Goes up wind really well and although shorter and narrower than my 142 styx it performed well as a light wind board.
Its got very little pop (Almost none) so not really for the twisty twirly stuff.
It quite a stiff board but it rides very smooth and vertually no splash in the face at all. Felt no pain in my dodgy knees so a big thumbs up for soft ride.
Landed well out of kite loop transitions and felt nice under any lift that was around.
Carved really well and edge to edge transition on the wave face was smooth.
You have to jump to transition given the big fins but most guys do this any way.
Given time i think i will be able to boost well on this board and I already know it lands well. When John finally got off my 142 styx I went out for a short session on it and can honestly say i like the SRF better in those conditions.
There is a heap more fin arrangements to try but I know enough to know that this is what i will be riding this year.
Thanks Adrian this board is exactly what i have been looking for. I don't really get into surf boards but I want a twin tip that lets me surf. I am looking foward to trying the 148. Pretty excited now about the season ahead.
Definitely on put this on your "must try one this year" list.
