took it out for a virgin session today - was totally shocked at how responsive it is - paddles easier than my 6'8 which i found kinda odd, duckdiving is so much easier and its got some nice speed to it.

Took me a few waves to settle into the board but when i did it felt totally comfortable. Just a petty the waves were closing out would have liked to try going vertical :D

Nice looking board. I like the "Asian" theme you got going on with it.

Stoked for you bro!

Nothing like the feeling of picking up a new board.

Yep im pretty stoked with the art work turned out better than i thought. Considering i only chucked together the idea in photoshop and told my shaper "there ya go i want something like it"

By the way just want to drop a thank you to Greg Sauritch top notch shaper and a top bloke. Good stuff :-)
