Great in Fun Sized Waves
I've taken this board out in a variety of conditions now, and feel it really clicked for me in 2-3 ft. steeper, rippable waves. In my view, it has more performance-style rails and I got a couple really fast, critical hits on it, which make me think I'll likely reach for this board on those short board days. It's my first quad, so I'm excited to explore some more fin templates. Hats off to the shaper. I'm a big fan of the wide, Simmons outline and I appreciate the aesthetics — It just gets me psyched to get out there!
The most fun you'll have on board
Simply the most fun I've ever had on a surfboard. This thing goes; and with a little bit of size on the wave, it flies down the line. Even at 5'2, it's wave-catching machine and does well for its size in soft conditions. It's seen clean head-high days and little two-foot afternoon slop and is plenty capable in both. It certainly lives up to the 'early and often' ethos as people can't believe 'that little thing' catches waves so effortless. And the quality of the build is outstanding. I've had mine for 8+ years and it's still as magical today as the first time I took it out to the water. Certainly recommend!
Loved it so much I got two of them.
This board makes me feel like what Andy Neiblas looks like on the wave. While I still don’t look the part, this board packs a punch! The ease of paddling, the glide, and the maneuverability makes this board my go-to. I’ve upped my wave count, I’m progressing in my ability, and I’m having a blast in the most regular conditions! Got an R-Series as well for when I’m out of wax or forced to surf shore-pound. Highly recommend both constructions. Cheers!
Great board, great customer experience
I have only good things to say about this board. It's super fun in waves of all shapes and sizes. The Almond team is so knowledgeable and patient, which made for a great customer experience when I was buying the board. I can also tell that the board is made to last- looking forward to surfing this one for a very long time!
