Hope everyone is getting some waves.
Just thought I'd post a photo of my 8'5 pro.

New? Would be very interested in a review... with some reference to what kind of conditions you have used it in. Its on my list of possible new boards for early next year....

Yes its a 2015 board. Have been riding the 8'5 x 29 for the last 3 boards. For me at 73kgs this board is the board that goes well in all conditions. Well balanced. Surf small point breaks, sucky lefts, to big offshore bombies. Depending on the size of the wave depends on where I position the centre fin. More forward for loosey goosey, slippery tail slides and further back for more control and drive in solid bombs. I think that this year it feels faster than the previous years. Did a bottom turn the other day and realised that the speed I had from the drop in, still carried me through to the top and back around and off the foam. Was pretty stoked. As for the glide, I havent found a better board than the 8'5 x 29. Not too big and not too small. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will try to help
