Rider: Weight,Level old
Style: Freeriding,
Weather: variable knots
Build Quality: 9/10
Satisfaction: 9/10
Disclosure: helped with testing protos.

My Comments: not sure how the company is going with getting fully into promoting this board but I have been giving the final production version a work out.

Board is simple in design and works a treat.
light and strong.
excellent rail and tail release.
very early planning and still the 130x39 holds down 30+kts.
Upwind drive is also excellent.
Flex is the area I was most involved in during testing so it's great for me meaning my knees appreciate the comfort.
Transition from heal side to toe side is smooth easy, and controlled.
does all the things you want in a board.

finish is first class. pads and straps are industry best standard but straps take a bit to settle in. they seem to need to roughen up a little on the inside first before becoming fully grippy.

So it's good to see another Aussie company having a go, and taking the time to listen to us average riders and what we need. (we Want to boost as high as Ruben, we NEED to survive the landing).
