A great higher end all-round board, providing good glide into waves but still able to be thrown on rail at high speed into a driven turn. A progressive rocker with constant V throughout and accelerated tail kick makes for a smooth ripper of a board. The shape suits most riding styles and body weights in most conditions. The 9’8” is, with its wider nose, great for nose riding and at the same time has enough paddle speed for pleasure cruising in calm waters.
