Picked up the board yesterday. Was stoked to find out that it came with fins. Whew.
First impression is that the board is really nice! It seems super well-built and in real life, it's a little bit less extreme than I think it looks in photos. The upward rail in the nose is more rounded and less pronounced and the channel in the back looks pretty cool and is actually fairly mellow. The fins are kind of wild. Fully double-foiled, pretty thin, and have kind of a weird 4A sort of base swoop at the front. The board doesn't seem to have much rocker at all and the rails are pretty pinched.
Hoping this board destroys small waves. Bought it for under 5' clean, soft winter days that we get around here where every single surfer in the bay area is out at OB. I think it will work quite well for that. The description suggests that it works in bigger waves too though I'm not sure. Will definitely test the limits though.
Will post up some photos soon.

The fins have a slightly similar, but less pronounced base to his single fin with that touch of flare on the front edge. Kinda hard to see in my chitty pic
I love my Will's Fish. I wouldn't say it grovels great but if there's some push it's a blast.
For some reason I'm instantly distrustful of board reviews done by brits
I posted the vid primarily because while he's flipping the board around while talking about it one can get a good look over what's going on with the shape.

Actually, no there really isn’t , don’t come here, locals only etc......
Yep definitely no surf in the UK......

Just curious, why is RL an a$$hole? Don’t know the backstory.
a lot of his boards look really fun, and I'm basing that mostly on video footage
I have 3 of these currently. A 6'9 in Varial, 7'0, and a 9'6. The 7'0 was my first one and it ended replacing a few other midlengths I had at the time. Just a rock solid board in pretty much anything. It kinda ruined any single fin mids for me as it turns so much better. The 6'9 is new to me and its a keeper for sure. Only a few sessions so far but feels like it can be surfed a bit more aggressively than the 7'0. The 9'6 is something special though. Its as good as most gliders in small stuff but where it really shines is in bigger waves. I've had a handful of sessions in OH surf right when I got it and its rock solid. It surfs like a smaller board and projects off the bottom like nothing I've ever had in a board this size. Guessing the narrow pin tail with the twin fins is the special sauce and the thin rails help knife in on steeper waves. I'm really happy with it and I expect it to remain in the quiver for a long time. I'm probably going to sell the 7'0 as its too similar to the 6'9 and I like varial better
yeah I was going to say that oeste needs to pick that up for us.
It was going on CL this week but I’ll dm you in a bit.
let me know if you do decide to sell the 7'0.
Funny the 6’9 Varial I just picked up recently is the green one in this thread.I had a feeling the guy was a bb’r but didn’t know who
that board looks so sic, I know someone who has one just like it, I wish they had stoke dimensions of my size
