…Neil I spent a few days at my mates place in coffs and surfed it for three days at park beach.All I can say is wow this board paddles well for such a short board it floats me well as well but it is amazingly fast and turns on a dim, at the moment I get the speed wobbles once I hit the bottom and start my bottom turn as I am so used to riding mals which dont have the speed that this board has. I am finding wearing flippers really weird as well but I am going to keep wearing them as they help me get onto the waves easier. My mate fish who also rides a kneeboard loves the look of this board and has been telling everyone you should see kevs new board. I am very stoked to have this board and look forward to getting more used to it and throwing it around on the wave as well like I used to ride my mals. Thanks for making me such a great board and putting back the fun in my surfing again…
