I'm not sure what year mine is but I love it. I haven't tried surfing it yet but have been using it for paddling up and down the coast and will use it for down winders. Also a great family board, I had my 2 girls on it with me this morning for a paddle down the coast.
I had the Cruiser with star touch deck in technora construction. Hated it.
The 12 x 32 'Big Easy' is a much better cruiser. Works a treat in small waves and is also a heap of fun in flat water and in the new grey AST material is a much better option IMO.
