Ordered a 5'7". 4+1 fin set up.

Got post up a pic a little later

Doing poly with bamboo deck. Bamboo suppose to provide knee dent protection and provide a snappy flex feeling.

Check back soon

have had this board out about 10 times and have had it out in the last two town swells.

Only ran the mair XPD fins in it

Me: 6'1"x200lbs

Construction: Poly with a vac bag bamboo deck. Gearbox fin boxes in quad 1" forward than his normal 11-7/8" I believe. A center box added for expermentation. Weight feels like a poly and added a cove pad to the deck. Concave deck. Rails feel beefier than the 2-1/2" parkes thruster I got and the crox flextail.

Dims: 5'7" x 22-7/8" x 2-3/8" (at concave deck)

Paddling: paddles real good through chop and has a good glide once you hit paddling cadence.

Ride: Feels fast and carves in flatter waves. In steeper stuff speed not an issue in making most sections. Do encounter some tail slide on initial steeper drops. Tail feels a little wide maybe. Also notice the need to hold and pull up on the outside rail to keep inside rail engaged. Overall very fun. Would order another with more narrow tail dims.

oh yeah deck is holding up great with the bamboo
