What really drew me to this board was the template and colours! I normally ride a 43" board however, wanted to size down slightly (went the 42.5) and also wanted a higher NTWP, as nearly all the pro models these days have a very low NTWP.
Amazing board, super responsive and maneuverable, spins on a dime and I feel like it fits like a glove for me!
Only negative is the core, not a fan of the 1.5PP would have much preferred to have this in the 1.9PP - I am on the slightly heavier side and find that this core is just too flexy when bottom turning and really digging into the rail - this is in WA winter water too, no chance could I ride this in INDO.
If this came in 1.9PP in Oz, would hands down be my all time fav board!!
I'm still giving it a 5 as the template is phenomenal and I don't want to mark it down for core material reasons - even tho technically it should be a 4/4.5
