I could easily live with that board as my 14 footer downwinder.
I'm actually missing a 14'er right now. Only 17 footer, and my Bushman 10' Blown Up Fish on Steroids.
i have a new name for the board simondo-
crouching tiger
i took it out at the alley catching reforms. i had to put the fin back about 15 mm from the back of the box- it kept pearling on me.
the dishy nose working beautifully -leads into the bump in front soooo good. and while its got rocker at the front the rest of the boards is flat rockered. almost a 3 stage rocker.
its unbelievably the fastest board i've used wave/bump riding in the ck mouth which really took me by surprise. reminded me of the ace ride/speed but a lot easier to use. super fast planning speed
the only thing is you have to be 'straight when the 'dish' is in the water or get it out.the dish is insane.
should have known the speed by looking at dogman's vid.
so while it looks meek and mild and paddles that way in the flats( its fast but not like the fw speed machines around) for me it was a weapon in the waves/bumps.
can't wait to dw it
