I got a 6'0". I have been riding study step downs at 5'10", and after riding this, those step downs are gonna gather dust.
It does everything those stubs do, and more. Is a good wave catcher (is 2"longer), and turns anywhere on the wave.
I was kinda surprised because it feels narrow and like a lot of nose rocker, but there's no down side to it.

I forgot turns on this hpsbs feel goooood.

I bought several thing from them and I can't complain about the quality. Of course, there will always be people that consider thing too expensive, but if you find something being expensive, just look for cheaper options.

Just bought an Average Joe in the Below Average Joe dims:roflmao:5'11" 22 3/8" 2 7/8" 43,3liturs

It cost me $290 with fins second-hand. Or third hand.

It has salvaged a few days already and I like the board. Probably getting some bigger fins :)

A more thorough review is coming, but I just couldn't keep a secret anymore.

My Bobby Quad (PU) has such a frail glass job too (standard 4+4/4).:(. Glassed in Oz at Onboard, likely here in NB Sydney.

All CI 4+4/4 PUPE's that I've used seem to have weaker glass jobs compared to other brands with similar glassing schedules...

If you can convince the glass shop to do a bi-axial layup on the deck, I think it's stronger with a better flex pattern than S glass.
