Available about end of feb but had a quick paddle of a demo the other day.
Just briefly it had a really similar feeling to the 28" wide Ace Pro but a lot more stable. Great glide helped it pick up little waves and runners easily and it trimmed nicely on whatever it was on.
Whilst not designed as an ocean board it'd take on quite a lot before you needed a full on downwind board. You will need to move more than on the self trimming Ace because of the nose shape but then that also makes it feel more like a normal style of board which many will prefer.
Alot more volume than the Ace Pro so it would also suit bigger guys better.
Nice bit of kit
Sam.
That's comprehensive, thanks Sam. As you had the chance to paddle the Ace Pro also, what were your thoughts on that one and what purpose do you see for it as opposed to the Ace?
