with the same dimensions only mine is more of a shortboard with abit more pointed in the nose.
My board doesnt have much rocker at all and i think in steeper waves that would be helpful, ( i have difficulty with late takeoffs

Also, it might just be practice but im not sure as ive never been on another board but it doesnt seem too fast and even with my pumping, which isnt very good mind you!
im 6'2 and weigh about 11stone and my riding level is - i can bottom turn, stand up on all waves, duckdive and do some not too stylish cutbacks.
I would like the board to be one i could use in the majority of conditions ( not just the south coast mush ) as i travel alot.
P.s was thinking of an s-core?
