just picked up a used 7' CB 5 fin Egg. Have ridden it twice--once in head high reef break and again yesterday in waist-chest (mostly waist) high reef break. fucked pretty hard in both. has exceptional glide into the bigger waves and a very strudy, reliable feel in critical spots. You can set your rail and angle it easily in later drops. The differences between it and other mids and mid fishes i've ridden are -- easy transition onto rail, ability to go more vertical to the lip, tighter turning radius and the ability to ride high in the pocket for the 5th gear. Even in the smaller stuff, I was able to put push it harder to the lip and bring it around much tighter. had as much paddle-ability as anything else in that range that i've ridden. has a little more rocker/flip in the nose, but pretty flattish through the middle and blends well into a good wave catcher that can actually turn. 7/7, highly recommend.
