Dimensions: 9'6" x  28" x 4 3/4"

Volume: 135L

Weight +-: N/A

Fins: 2 + 1

Shaper: Harold Iggy working with Dave Kalama

Construction Features: Sandwich Wood

Design and Shape: Longboard style. The single concave bottom offers stability, while it's narrow outline, rocker, and 3 fin setup allows huge turning potential.

Paddling: It glides well concidering it's performace surfing orinitation and even with my 96Kg it is very capable

Surfing: Now this is where the board really comes into it's own. The board will appear to those with a proformace longboarding back ground. It offers a great combination of traditional nose riding with radical turning ability. It's rocker allows for late takeoffs and is forgiving with truns on steep wave faces.

Conclusion: This is a performace "longboard" for the more advanced rider +85Kg - 100Kg (very skilled ride
