As a longboarder between 185 - 195, I was looking for board that would provide me volume, response, and an easy paddle. I should point out that I wanted this board for freshwater surfing which has less buoyancy than salt water, too.
The 9’ retro nose rider exceeds my expectations! This board paddles and catches waves great! The retro nose really helps with the planing and getting into waves for me. The board is light and responsive. I like a little more grab from my fin, so I’ll probably go with a longer fin, but that can vary from rider to rider. Really happy with this board. Not a lot of flex, and that’s just what I was looking for ride.
Also, shipping, tracking, and delivery was a breeze.
I got this board to get out more during the summer and so far it has been an absolute dream. I've been catching waves so early and gliding into the pocket so effortlessly that it makes me seriously consider just keeping this longboard as my only board. This thing has probably quintupled my wave count, but I only rode a shortboard before getting this board, so take that with a grain of salt. Regardless though, I'm sold on the longboard life. I love gliding on waves that I wouldn't even paddle for on my shortboard. It's pretty much a game changer for me. So far I've surfed it in less than 1 ft during high tide as well as powerful chest high days and it handles it all. The waves where I live are 1-4 feet most of the year so this board will be perfect for a majority of the days. Since it's so easy to paddle I'll probably be able to surf more often as well, so that's a plus. I also love the color. It makes it super easy for my friends and family to find me in the lineup. This board has pretty much been a dream come true.
We’ll, we finally got some decent waves from tropical storm Alex. It took about 10 waves before I found the sweet spot. The board rides great! I rode so many waves over the last four days my friends said “Your getting more waves than ever”. It paddles fast, takes off great, and turns very easily. Also, it goes down the line as fast as I want. I may buy another (a different color) to match my spare baggies.
Just spent the entire winter with this board before writing a review and I love everything about it. It’s great for perfecting your cross step and equally good for just cruising long lines. There’s not a lot of rocker but I prefer it because the board is fast and really stable
