I don't actually own a Roberts surfboard, but I have tried my friend's 6'8" and 6'4". The best word to describe Roberts surfboards is that they're solid. His boards are pretty beefy and has nicely filled out rails, and just had a good weight the minute you held it under your arm. I had a 6'4" JC and we switched boards and my board was completely different than his. They were both standard 6'4 performance thrusters, but mine felt more like a skateboard and looser, while his Roberts held a longer line and threw more spray. I think my friend got a great deal on both boards, Roberts surfboards are a great value for the $$. I plan on getting one from him in the future.
