This board has been so good for learning. Really stable but not as cumbersome as a mal. This size has been good for getting to standing, but now also has maneuverability.
Session Memories:
I have had so many good rides on this board and feel confident on it whenever I go anywhere new.

My Opinion About:
This is a hard, foam board that I bought cheap so that I can surf close out, low tide Scarborough when I get desperate. I use this one to save my fins on my hard board. Not that robust unfortunately. Snapped half the fish tail because of the pressure from the location of the legrope plug. Still going though. Good ol' araldite.

My Opinion About:
Such a bargain. Bought it in Noosa on our first East Coast trip. $600 with a travel bag.
Session Memories:
Took me a while to get the hang of this one as it doesn't have a lot of rocker in the nose. Actually goes really nicely on decent size swell. Love it on a reef break. Got to see it ridden at double overhead Centres - Gnaraloo. Won't be ridden like that again for a while.

Session Memories:
Haven't had that many days with decent conditions to warrant taking it out. Last session was excellent. Couple of shoulder to head high rights and it slotted in really nicely!
