9 ft x 24 x 17 x 3 1/2 thick with a huge bum crack and speedialler quad fins, I can tell that you I got more than a few strange looks and even ruder comments when I took it off the car roofrack at the beach for it’s first session.
I must admit I felt a bit anxious myself too! Would it work?..it WORKED! Boy, did it work! being so wide and thick it paddled into waves easily, and took off with such speed that it caught me off guard the first time.
The squirt of acceleration out of the bottom turn was really noticeable and the glide through the unweighted top turns was super smooth.
It’s rekindled the stoke in me, and totally rejuvenated my surfing. Bring on the summer!

Somehow those bigger (longboard) fish never seemed right to me. This one has a nicer look to it, 'tho, for some reason. Glad to hear its worked out to be a fun board for you! How about a follow up with some ride pics?
Thanks for the positive comments , guys! Julian has a good eye and did everything he could to make such a big board look balanced. I think he did a great job. I’ll post some ride pics soon!
Yep, the fin placements were a bone of contention, but in the end we just scaled up from a shorter fish and they kind of looked right. Had a look at what Mc Tavish was doing with the F4 and at the end of the day the board isn’t stiff and responds really well !
uncle thats friggin hilarious i dont usually laugh reading stuff on the internet, i always went with ‘sorta possibly almost meat’ but i think the acronym words have officially changed to a new mantra for me
