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
I think I may have found the one.
The board was awesome straight out of the box despite the waves being average, the water temp being 13, and the board needing breaking in.
Turns and 360s just flowed, rolls felt easier
Amazing board, so stoked with this board. Excellent quality. Hands down best board/shape I’ve used yet. Cheers
Love the board it works amazing sticking to the wave no sliding,and the speed is amazing thx again,will definitely getting another 🤙🌊😊
Can’t comment yet, as the recipient doesn’t get his birthday present till 15/7. I’m sure he will be thrilled. Cheers Chris
It is a very good board and adapts to all conditions. As well as that it is very fast on the water and can be duckdived easy.
I have been out to urbn surf now 8 times and ridden different boards each time-nothing comes close to the stealth Bullet bat-I am 5'11 and 95kgs and ordered the 42.5 with a finished thickness of 58mm.
The board has the perfect amount of thickness for a bigger guy whilst tapered at the nose so it doesn't feel like a boat. The Hull channels are perfect when you hit the go button, whilst the 55/45 rails give enough bite to fight the looseness of the bat tail. I was taking off deeper and taking a slower line and still making some outrageous barrels on expert mode.
If you are a slightly bigger guy and looking for the best board on the market, i dont think you can go past the Stealth Bullet Bat.
