Does anyone own or has ridden a Stretch IT. I would like to get some opinions.

Thanks!

I have one and I love it. Its just a really fun board to have around. Mine is 7'6. Have ridden it in all types of Southern CA surf and always enjoy it. It turns very well unlike a lot of other fun board type shapes I have ridden yet still cruises when its small.

Between the IT and my GG modfish, I never really ride anything else.

Love mine.
I've had it for about 5 months.
Works better with some push, not really a thigh-high wave board.
Stretch makes fantastic boards.

Ive had 2 of them so far and I think they go better in the 7' range. Like I said I have one on order and think this one is going to be the keeper. Mine will be much like Mr. Goochs

What fins are you guys using in the "It"?
I haven't settled on any one set.
I've tried it with Stretch's OG template quads, the SA quads, and
with a set of Stretch's newer template quads.

So it's not really a longboard replacement? I have christenson flat tracker. It flies in 1-2 foot waves and I can ride it up to SH-HH but probably not over that.

How do you think the IT would compare?

I don't think the It is a longboard "replacement".
I had a Pearson CJ Nelson for mushy ankle biters to shoulder high waves,
it was a fun board for summer waves.
The It can get into small waves, but waves with shape/push is where it
comes to life.
