I have only used this surfboard when I have traveled to Costa Rica. It is a great performance board but I have another board that is too similar to this.
It's on the narrow and thin side for a longboard. It is 9' x 22 x 2.375. It catches waves easily and I used it in everything from waist high up to head high surf in Costa Rica.
It would be a good board for a beginner woman, teenager, or someone on the lighter side. It's a great board for a shortboarder looking to get their first longboard.
There are some repaired dings on the board. The nose and tail were damaged on a return flight one year. That damage was professionally repaired in OCNJ. There are also a few other minor dings from travel that I repaired on the rails. The board is watertight and was never in the water with an open ding. The deck also has knee compressions on it from my poor pop up.
