+1 on all of this; mine is varial and feels super whippyLike someone said above, this is a good boar for varial, DA, and lighter alt builds. So if you are used to eps, go for that one. It packs foam and will feel chunky under arm, so just keep an open mind. Keep back foot on the tail over the channel.
also agree on slamming the back foot and surfing off it, what i have noticed with my plasmic is its a super easy transition from my 3-fin shortboards where I am surfing like that and takes a little more adjustment coming off my twin fins. the board is definitely a little counter-intuitive -- looks like a fish but definitely wants input and to rip
i love the AMTs in mine -- someone told me that you want fins with more cant for boards with channels (a la bonzer runners) and in futures at least they are built that way
do it deforest!!!!
