I'm assuming this is the same brand...

I have a Seven 6'7. Here it is:

unfortunately, I believe it is a pop out. However, this board has traveled well via airplane, and car. It has no dings or damage on it. I got it new for $285 and has served as an excellent beginner board helping me get medium sized waves and mushy-1 foot waves when I first started and on slow days.

The only thing I would add, is that I surf VERY infrequently because I live so far from the coast. Extended use may show different results!

I've got a 7s 7'4" XL fish. They're made in China or somewhere like that. It's an OK board, not up there in terms of quality glassing, but it goes OK, and it was really cheap.

They're not pop outs, more knock outs, ie made to a price, and not by a skilled shaper. It's lasted fine, and goes well enough.

Pop out/knock out = a board that has never been shaped by hand, but rather is produced from a machine which "pops out/knocks out" the general shape of a surfboard, and is then finished up.

Usually tells you the dimensions eg 6'8x21x2 1/2 would mean 6'8 long, 21 inches wide, 2 and a half inches thick.
Sometimes the name of the shaper and/or buyer is on there.

It also means its been shaped by hand.
