Great Board! I have a wide mix of water movement and environments where I live, so the board sees flat glass, choppy and open swells, and soon surf as well. Even on small, inter-coastal swells (typically when the tide is changing around bottom contours) you can tell the board wants to chase the leading edge, it catches you off guard if you aren't ready. The planing style hull may not be the fastest but it definitely tracks and handles chop predictably, the wide stance helps with side chop and wake if you aren't sure footed yet and on larger rolling, choppy swells it makes for a much better ride than a skinnier stick will give you. I personally enjoy the amount of deck space when its break/snack time, and that the board is sensitive to foot placement and fin choice. I am looking forward to longer and longer rides and Downwinding, time to start planning...
