Ordered on Monday and now arrived! Apparently the last one in the UK until March.

Not ridden yet but I'll let you know.

Well, that sucked! Not the board the water... Horrid wind swell and choppy conditions do not go well for a first tryout on a new board.

But the board is still great!

Offshore wind made it really hard to get any speed to get onto the waves. They'd hit then tail and BANG board goes from underneath. Did figure out that even with weight forward she isn't going to perl you. And even then if the nose goes down you can get it back. Nice. and just as well today...

The weather's improving later this week so I'll post again - once I can stay upright for more than 2 secs. Stupid chop. Stupid Mike.

Nice board, i have the Wide Point 8.10 2014, and compared your new board is not so wide as the 2014 is more focus on surf and performance, for sure you gonna enjoy...

congrats,
