Best boards ever is small surf. Worst board ever in anything over shoulder high surf - unless ur name is Tom Curren.
They are really fast in small surf and on fat faces. They dont work well in the barrel cause the rails are often too boxy and round- they slide down the face where ur thruster will drive and create speed.
They paddle like a mini mal but you turn them like you would ur thruster.
They are soo fast busting down a long point wave (as long as its not too big)
