Who's ridden one?

After hearing Wade Goodall talking about surfing P Pass on one, I had a closer look, and it's a beautiful board. Beef up the dims, and even I could probably have fun on it.

Curious to hear how they go, and a comparison with the Ghost would be especially helpful.

Edit: Wade at P Pass - last section of Pentacoastal. If you haven't watched it, you're in for a treat:

Always thought the Taco Grinder was an appealing looking board. That P-Pass section is pretty heavy.

Have played around with the dimensions a few times. Board is a little bit anemic as is for my tastes.

But I don't really ride CIs. Probably wouldn't personally pull the trigger on that over a Ghost which I feel gets run through more hands.

Synopsis, Wade at 5'10" and 170 rides the Taco Grinder at 6' with heavier glassing (what he rode at P-Pass) and rides step down TC's at 5'10

6’4 x 19 1/2 x 2 5/8 would make me happy in Indo.

I think they used to have a few of these at Wise in SF. Now I'm wondering how they were ordering them because I don't think the stock options of skinny and extra skinny would cut it at OB lol.
