seeing as I was given the board for a go and liked it I better say something.
ps if I didn't like I wouldn't be saying anything.
my 10 fter had a side fin knocked over so I used this even tho kirra was high tide fat.
paddles good and surfs like a mid length
until you get a touch of speed or the wave shapes up. then it all happens. on the plane it becomes a very performance like board.
quiet amazing in fact. feels light and responsive in this construction.
last wave had a nice wall, so I fed it down the line and t ed up a close out. when at it hard driving my outside arm through the turn - landed it with a bottom bounce.
very un mid length like yet I would say reasonably easy to ride.
lots of lookers at the board and got a guy just walking past bailed me up.
comparison. the bsq was more of a open face board where the warthog is more your pocket type taking nothing away from the bsq.
would I have one- yes.
this review is based on one surf in very full waves
