My Comments:

Got this Boot specific board from Axis on a whim id like it. it seemed like a board that would suit my style. Ive now had 5 sessions on it, thought id write a short review. ill speak about the last two sessions at rosey as the conditions where better. I've previously been riding an 138mm SS Asylum..

The board has Decent low end, got me going in Lightish condition on my 12. my opinion is it has the perfect amount of rocker, enough to soften the landings, ride smooth and not so much as to feel like a slug in light conditions.. definitely noticed an improvement in my pop - going bigger without as much effort, had to actually ditch speed to nail my tricks.. can't complain! tracks well, prefect grip with 10mm fins (haven't ridden finless yet but given the channels i reckon it will go alright. immediately felt comfortable with this board.

at 75kg going to an 141 was not an issue, didn't feel like a massive board. all in all the board looks bomber - looks like it can take a beating, the graphics are sick, The price is right, the extra row of insert makes sense.. I'm usually not one to write a review online but S T O K E D with no complaints!
