Anyone ridden this board? I had a quick go on mates 7'er, bit longboardie but heaps stiffer than std sorfboards, feel way nicer and rails thinner and more refined. Thinking a 6' or 6'6 Beastie be a fun board for average beachies or small reef. just dont know whether to go the 6 or 6'6, one is 37l, other is 42. both heaps of volume but wondering if the larger have a bit more glide?

So, anyone got any feedback from experience?
Other model i thought about was the little marley but they are so short, less glide for those small gutless perf days. maybe be ok with quad.
thanks

Assuming you're using it for a standard perth summer board I reckon checkout the Little Marley 5'10. I rode one recently on the sunny coast with a Quad setup for a few surfs - heaps of volume 43l I think - lighter, stiffer and as close to a fibreglass that a foamie will get i reckon - compared to catch surf skipper and GSI flounder etc

My uncle who is pushing 60years and 90kg usually surfs a mal got a few as well - the size was far less of a concern he reckoned because of how buoyant it is. I don't know if that helps

Also - FCS 2 - 5 fin boxes compared to 3 for the Beastie

cheers for feedback.
little marleys do look pretty sweet

was checking out softlite new models last night online, bunsen burner and popstick lookin pretty sweet and seems they are going stiffer also with their soft boards.
