Well, I love it. Take the 4 removable fins out and it's super loose, insanely fast, pops beautifully, and is just more fun than you know what to do with. It hits the wake and puts in cuts equally as well... There is nothing that you can't do well on this board. I rode a Balance before this board, and wanted something as smooth and fun but wanted a mellow feel riding straight, a knifey cut, and a slightly more rocker & bigger flat spot. This board met my specs almost exactly. It's even more versatile than I initially thought it would be. I bought a Substance this year to give it a ride, and I ended up going back to my Fish (if that gives you any indication of how much i like it) Would I buy it again after having ridden it for 2 seasons? without a doubt. Is it for everyone? Definitely not. My recommendation: buy the board and ride it... it will, at the very least, help progress your riding skill and throw a very different style board at you. And if you don't like it, sell it!
