Yes - got the idea from my wife's " Jimmy Lewis Striker" At my level of ability the difference in weight is not a worry! No hexagrip, no wax - no worries! The subtle blend of the " mini style lord " and the " hipster " will give the local beach breaks a new lease of life, once I get used to - by far the shortest board - I have ever had

For small to shoulder high beach breaks - no skid marks on this board!

That tail is the secret sauce of these boards - gotta get your foot behind that hip to make them work though.

Having been on hipsters for the last little while they are interesting boards. Aside from the surfing characteristics I've noticed that they do have quite a small standing area to get the balance right, and with less volume in the tail I find I have to stand more to the front of the board than I have on other boards.

Interested to know what boards you are coming down from?

Good luck with it - it looks rad.
