Hi Paul,

 I picked up the 10’6” on Saturday, and man…the pictures are pretty, but it looks even better in person! The glassing on this one is incredible. The board is heavy, and built like a tank.

I got it out at mediocre-at-best C-Street Sunday morning, and decent Cowell’s this evening.

Ran it both times with a Big Red about halfway up the box. Rode it a mix of stand up and prone (I’ve really been enjoying riding prone lately). It paddles like a dream, and the heavy glassing makes it super smooth, none of that twang over chop. Paddles in effortlessly and it takes off like rocket. I was catching ankle high waves in deep water in to the stairs at Cowell’s, and paddling into waves 10 yards before others. It maneuvers very fluid and smooth — I was cutting it back prone with minimal movement back on the board…prone cutbacks on a 10’6”!!

This one is unreal — totally unique from the other boards, but nails that small wave cruiser niche I was hoping for!

As always, thank you for all the time you, Spence, and Scott spent on this one! I’m so stoked on it!

Sam
