Well I'm a horrible judge- just getting back into this after a lay-off of nearly three decades! I had never ridden a long board in my life before this. I catch about 8 green waves each time I go out before I'm completely exhausted ha ha, and I've only gone left! Having a little trouble with the pop-up and finding myself needing to break some new bad habits right away. For some reason my body won't do what it's supposed to and doesn't weigh what it used to?? :D Having so much fun though

All I can say is wow...this board is 7 inches longer than what I usually ride. It is also wider but interestingly lighter than some of my shorter boards.

It got me into waves a lot earlier than I am used to and then of course, much more face time. Stomping on the pin tail allowed me to make some really tight turns.

Wayne you crushed it with this stick bro.

Some design detail from the Master on my Mini Pynzer in case anyone is interested:

One thing I was really impressed with was how lite the board is.

I noted the very tip of the tail is actually a bit thicker…is that a style thing or does it have function as well…I like it a lot either way.


"I use US Blanks red density, it has a different composition then the blue, green, density. The unique character is that it's a harder foam but lighter then the green, blue density, the down side is it's alot harder to shape.

The thicker tip help the tail keep it's floatation but still have tons of bite with the narrow and pointed tip, which actually functions like a center fin along with the channels it allow alot of squirt with tons of control.."
