I cannot believe how amazing this board is!!! I have been on a lot of other boards, and cannot believe how much of a difference I can tell. Way better than the Phatty. Whatever your skill level, this board will take it up a notch.

Wild thing! Best board I`ve ever ridden.
Huge pop of the wake, and landings are smooth. A bit loose in the middle for easy surface-spins. Snowboard-style wakeboard. Holds a great edge all the way to the wake. This board is amazing to ride finless on a calm day. Thank you Daniel Watkins!

this is the best board ive ever had and riden. Its got 10 times the pop of the phatty. And the tracking is the best ever. With 4 cupped rails. 2 on each side of the fin. this board is amazing to ride finliss on a calm day. The boards a little edgey in the air but is still light and easy to work with. If you snowboard and are looking for a board that rides like 1 get this board.

This board is the livliest i have ridden, absolutly great board. Pop of the wake is great and provides a solid platform for landings. Cuts great may slide slightly if u rely on fins for control.

My first board purchase, after riding a few of my friends boards for a few months. Slippery in the middle for easy surface spins. Big channels on tip and tail helps the board track while you’re on edge. Comes with 1.5 inch fins which would be good for the intermediate to advanced rider. Beginners to intermediate should look for a board which tracks better, or buy bigger fins. Pop off the wake is incredible with the abrupt three stage rocker. Landings are soft. The most important thing to remember is that this is a top of the range board. It’s a machine and you have to ride it agressively to get the value from it. Hard cuts, using the edge, snowboard style, rather than reliance on the fins.

This is my 3rd board & it’s great! I land my Rolls and other inverts with ease. Although I’m too scared to use it on any sliders I have a slider board. I dont think there’s any way to rate a board on sliders except for fin placement. But I gave this board a 4 because it sucks at spins I can barely do 3’s with it.
