SP24

I have the 8’1” SP24 at 104L. At 6’3” and 205lbs, I find it to be a remarkably buoyant and stable platform compared to many other boards I’ve owned (and there have been many, many over the last 12 years). Works best for me on cleaner days, but still manageable to stand on when it gets a little lumpy (I hate sitting or kneeling in the lineup). Ridden it in everything from knee high to overhead surf and it’s fast down the line, holds a rail, and is easy to snap. For whatever reason, it seems to work best for me as a thruster rather than a quad in normal surf, but the quad setup holds a bottom turn really (too) well if you’re trying to get down the line on a large hollow wave. This construction is ultralight compared to other boards of similar size (13lbs w/deck pad), and that has me a little worried about the durability, but so far it hasn’t been a problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to an intermediate-advanced rider, and might suggest they can go a little smaller than they imagine if they’re looking for higher performance on the wave, but size it up a little if you want a little more glide into your takeoff and/or are an intermediate paddler.
