I've just returned home after a trip up the NSW far south coast with this baby and had everything from shoulder high onshore slop to 4' dredging glassy kegs.
Surfs so much like a shortboard, it's bloody unreal
Super stoked with it!!
Spoke to some crew that have it's bigger brothers....8'4" & 8'8" and they are frothing too.
This thing is 8'0" x 28" and 100L and weighs around 6kg in carbon foam sandwich construction.
Bit more volume than some other 8'0"s to suit crew that aren't whippets

Not bad Dean, like the colour. What are the specs on an 8'4" and fin configuration.

G'day Mick
8'4" x 28", 106L, 6.3kg.
It's pretty much tha same as the 8'0"....just stretched 4".
5 futures boxes so you can go thruster or quad.
You are welcome to demo my 8'0" if ya keen

Thanks Dean meet you at Torquay this w/end or catch you at the next comp. bring the 8'4" just in case (I've packed on some more hhhhmmmm muscle)

The 8'8" is the best short board SUP I have surfed, by a country mile. I've had quite a few over the past 3 years, all big brand named, & they pale to insignificance, compared to the WoW. It transitions super smoothly with no stall characteristics whatsoever, wherever on the wave face. For a stock board, it has the goods. Who ever designed it, they certainly know their stuff.

Great price, great brand support, & good guys to deal with.

There's 3 sizes in the range:
8'0" x 28" 100L
8'4" x 28" 106L
8'8" x 28" 115L

Hey Jradedm'

Its 8'8" x 28.5". 114lt (written on the box & the board)....

I'm 52 old & 83 kegs with a bung knee & 3 fused lumbar vertebra. (same as most of the 'crew'). I SUPaddle anything from 14'x26.5 to 8'6x28.5 daily, offshore, shoreline & inshore (off to have a 17'er experience in July). Have had many good boards and a few bad boards in my time. This is an absolute Gem. I rode the 8'0" & it balanced me easily. It was also the closest thing to 'true' (short board) surfing I have ever experienced. I went with the 8'8" just to keep my feet a bit more dry (in other words - I don't know why, maybe an age & longevity thing), the difference in performance (to the 8'0) was negligible.
