Mr X reports in after his first ride on the 13 footer:
Roy, The board was very interesting to say the least. It felt alive in the water with all of the twang that wood produces. Caught waves effortlessly ...and took the drops with ease. I surfed the waves as long as possibly could. Would be nice at a Mexican point break.
I found myself venturing off the central riding area a couple of times which I could feel some drag but when I went back to the sweet spot all was sweet. It's fast as in making sections but it doesn't feel fast as in out of control.
The board is like no other. Kind of feels like bodysurfing in a way.
