Nice shape looks like a fun board. What are the main differences between it and the turbo also a fun looking board .

From what I've seen of the Turbo it has more nose rocker but I've never ridden it. I have ridden the 7'11 Slab and its heaps of fun

I have both atm ... The ecs is heaps more stable than the slab I feel ... It's slightly not as much as a performance shape .. But still Goes really well .. Just I feel the slabs are super performance ...

Been riding the 7'5 x 28 - 109l slab for six or so months i was around 88 kg but dropped a few over summer - they are incredibly stable as the vid says surf really well off back foot and you can generate great speed further forward even in small waves - i havent pulled my 8'4 Quatro out since ive been riding it.

ive ridden as quad and thruster - thruster better for pivoty turns quad for extra squirt of speed - using Shapers MB large thrusters - add the stock rear plastics for quad set up - awesome board and the crew were really good to deal with getting it to Adelaide - definitely worth checking out
