As an intermediate level surfer, I bought this board for average surf and it did not disappoint. It rides the line well while turning is smooth and drawn out. In better surf, it still handles well but feels a little heavy and numb. The construction is excellent and the board looks great. Despite the description - my board came as a five fin set up. I've not run it as a quad, didn't like it as a twin, and runs great as a single fin.
