Where did you paddle?

TK: Bay of Plenty Harbour, Snodgrass Road to Pilot bay. One hour and 25 minutes...

Conditions?

TK: Glassy to begin with, hit with side chop once we got closer to Fergusson Park.

What was the board like in comparison to your weight?

TK: Good volume and glide at my weight of 100kgs.

How did it handle the conditions?

TK: Good on flat water but really comes into its own on the bumps with the rocker shape.

How stable was it?

TK: Good stability but new bottom shape takes a little time to get used to the feel. (Compared to the Holoholo).

Overall thoughts?

TK: Is a fast board!!!! Light, easy to handle in and out of the water, picks up glides so easy... Definitely my pick for the summer!
