Chiming in since Ledge was mentioned. My xtr ledge I love more than any board I've had but I think the slightly wider dims and beak nose I ordered reduced the big barrely potential in steep beach breaks that I normally surf. However, It eats up points with juice like no other board I've had and loves carving. These types of shapes seem to carry a lot of momentum down the line and require so much less user input for generating speed,which I love. And the paddle power is addicting. I can still use it in waist-chest high days and have fun, but forget turns in those conditions.

They're nothing magical. The boards on the other hand.

FWIW I like the Album Ledge and Insanity just as much as I like my Fiji. I wouldn't put my Moonstone in the same category but I think it could compare to a Massive maybe? In order of versatility, from most versatile to least, I would rate it like this.

Insanity > Ledge > Fiji

What are the board dims? This is one that I am considering for travel later this summer and our winter waves.
