Has anyone had a go on this board yet. Looks cheap and the guy is ****ing ripping on it. its hard to imagine wanting to go back to shortboarding if you could ride an sup this critically.

Brilliant soundtrack, got to love The Buzzcocks. The boards look ok as well.

Certainly no better than our own young Harry Maskell who rides very conventional shaped sup's

Ryan helm certainly is a super shredder his finless sup surfing is pretty mind blowing

i really like the look of this board and the infinity Rnb they are great adaptions of the tomo/mph shape - I think these hybrid mph boards will become much more common just look at the success of the sunova speeed

hey guys- long time lurker- but have some info so wanted to post.

I have had two Riviera boards ( Here in the us) and also had an Infinity Rnb.

The Dervish and even the El tigre Models surf great. Fantastic shapes. Unfortunately the construction is very very weak. I snapped my first one and only have a second because a local shop took pity on me. I plan to surf it until it snaps or has too many repairs to deal with. Its light as hell- and that because there really isnt anything to it.

The Dervish is more 'shortboard' than the RNB' narrower and more tippy. I used the riv when it was clean and the RNB -( Which had more volume) when it was choppy.

I surf very hollow fast beachbreak. so both of these boards only come out when the waves are a little less critical. I have a step up for the hollow stuff we get here in storm surf in New Jersey.
