Ask Shearer to ride it for you and talk about the fcckn smell of the dandelions 2km's downwind then.

You'll find out soon enough Davros, you have already ordered the thing.

Honestly Dav I don't really know how to describe it. It just feels fast, predictable, capable and good. I am not experienced enough to give you much more then that for this board.

Put it like this, I was having a good surf on it down the coast, getting a lot of waves, making a lot of sections, putting a few decent tirns together and pretty pleased with myself.

My mate who is a pretty bloody good surfer asked for a go and on his first wave got two barrells and made it. His reaction was "fark thats a good board, think I need one of those"

You wont regret your purchase of that I am sure Dav.

I reckon you surf enough to be pretty accurate. Cheers for feedback

I agree. It is a very fast board. I ride it at mystics when it's chest high and over. It's the type of board where you don't think you can make a section and next thing you know you're in flat water, laying a rail to get back to the foam ball. I've made a few really good waves out there. The single concave that runs the length of the board is great. Lot's of lift and drive. I wish i had the fifth fin option to maybe slow it down and give it some more pivot. That said, on the right wave you can smack the lip, but i find it more of a down the line driver that you push hard into a cutback. If you like quads - this is the ultimate. Better than all the others i've ridden. But you've got to be on your game. At some stage i was a decent surfer and reactive enough to work with a board like this, but as children, work, injury and life sucks my time out of the water like an overzealous kreepy Krauly - i've found i only pull this one out when the waves are good.

Rasta quads - i think they're made for the board. I'm still keen to ride mine as a twin. Just waiting for the right swell.

Perfect winter board Davros. How long have you gotta wait???

Thanks Batoes. I'm a quad fan, the speil says you can ride as a twin, sounds like it would be a hell of a ride.

3-4 weeks

Was that the day you were out with Laird, Loof, and he liked your style?

Conclusion: Entity goes unreal in clean fast waves, struggle in junk, rocks side to side like a drunken sailor. 3ft clean quick waves today, fantastic.

I'm a convert. An acolyte. A zealot. Best made board ever. By a country mile but great construction means nothing if it doesn't go. A CV2, and certainly not a groveller. I rode an entity in quality 3 to 4 foot lefts as well and a superb board. Struggled in poorer surf though.
