Size: 6'8" X 19 1/2" x 2 3/8"
This board is a Surftech. So the comments made in previous posts about Surftech construction and flex apply here also.
I bought this board from the same friend who sold me the 6'4" PMM below.
The shape is a strange blend of dimensions. Its pitched as a step up board from the 6'4". But its not a fat boy (or lazy boy) either. It manages to keep a very subtle blend of volume and high performance curves. The nose rocker is a beautiful progressive curve, I think its about 4 1/2". This type of curve suits my style as a front footed surfer.
As always the first thing was to take out the cheap plastic fins and put in a pair of FCS H2's. My first day out was at my local beach in head high messy conditions. I have always been looking for a board that makes the most of these conditions. Well this is the one. On my first wave the board just flew down the line cranking 3 or 4 really nice smooth turns. I have ridden this board quite a bit and I really like it, its fast smooth and handles messy conditions really well.It also paddles great. I have nothing bad to say about this board. If you have put on a bit of meat or are sprouting some grey hair it could be the one to keep your surfing high performance.
Rating: 5/5 loving it!

Good review, I totally love the board to and couldn't agree more, the thing really comes alive when you throw in some performance fins...I put in some Occy FCS fins but am going to keep playing around w/ different set-ups. Plan on taking it to Bali in April. Anyway, just wanted to say I dug your review...
