From the website: The Surf series feature a narrower nose and tail shape, with a rounded pintail tri-fin design. This increased outline curve produces a looser board made specifically for riding in the waves. The clean edge release in the tail of the board combined with the 2+1 fin result in a board capable of generating incredible speed down the line. The Surf series provide confident takeoffs, bottom turns and cutbacks for riders looking to increase their level in the waves.

Evaluators said:
“Great surfing board; nice and stable for a big guy; tracks well; good board overall” (Intermediate Male 220 lbs.)
“Stable, turns great”
“Very safe and stable” (Advanced Male 220 lbs.)
“This is amazing in surf; it turns super-quick” (Beginner Male 250 lbs.)
“Accelerates well, easy to turn and change speed, catches waves easily” (Advanced Male 175 lbs.)
“Needs a lot of trimming at low speed, good stability, nice and loose”
“Easy board to stroke into waves” (Intermediate Male 140 lbs.)
“Catches waves on autopilot, surprisingly stable for a small pintail at my weight” (Intermediate Male 240 lbs.)

Summary: Surprising stability from a relatively small pintail. Highly rated in all categories, small riders called it “floaty”, our heavyweight expert (270) called it a fun board. Most common comment–catches waves easily, carves well.
