Ted the Kiwi said..T-Dog - time for a review - you have had it long enough now
Thanks for knocking the dust off this one Simondo
Ah, such good memories of the pristine board. Nothing lasts forever though, dropped it off today at the ding shop, nothing too bad though.
You're right Ted, never did wrap this thread up properly so I'll have a go at a review. Can't really compare it to other boards though this is my first LB. Like Blair said back at the beginning of the thread, the EVOII is a forgiving board but I also find it responsive and super fun! At 9.1x 22 3/4 x2 7/8 it's been a great transition board for me as a long time short boarder. It thrives on long point waves at about 2-4' or slightly bigger. Narrower width is great for cutties and carving off the tail
though makes nose riding less stable but I'm frequently in the front 1/2-1/3 of the board and have lots of fun up there
The 3 profile rocker seems to work nicely with plenty of nose and tail rocker for steeper take offs. Decent tail rocker also helps with turning, and flat middle section is the sweet spot for trimming and gliding through the flat sections
Does it sound like I love it? because I do
and can see why so many others are fans of this shape!
Thanks again Mac for clueing me in on it back when I was considering my options
