I have been training a bit on this board in the mornings and thought i would give my quick review on it.

Flat water: Board feels pretty average at the nose entry but really nice of the tail it is on speed with most 12'6 maybe a little slower than some.

IN and OUTs: To me this is where this board is at its bests it took of when i did this on this board it was really nice to punch out through the waves and when on a swell it surfed it very well, and really took off when it came to the fat parts of the wave. Its easy to kick turn around as well.

Over all its a good board it would be great as a training board it wont win a flat water race as i think there are faster but in a BOP style it would be right up there it's nice and stable and feels good to paddle.
