If your body is breaking down and you've transitioned from a longboard to a "gut slider" board, I'm curious as to how its gone.
How do you find it for catching waves, the performance/manouverability and general fun factor?
Hi SGO, No personal experience but, like you, curious.
There's some good feedback from the 'Sunshine Coast Gut Slider' crew on Facebook:

If you scroll down about three posts to the Trina Thornton one dated 9 August, a stoked bloke called Deano shares his story (and there are a few other stoked folk in the various comments too). 
Thanks Greeney, there's a lot of enthusiasm in that group, will give me something to think about.
One of my old mates and a very good longerboarder gave up surfing due to age and injury. He didn't go in the water for 3 years until he discovered gut sliding, he absolutely loves it, he started with a standard shortboard now gets custom boards made. Wider and a completely different rocker set up.
Gut sliders are easy on the body and paddle well, so catching waves is simple. They aren't as sharp for turns as a performance board but they are still fun, smooth, and surprisingly maneuverable.
Any hints on how the rocker varies from a "normal" surfboard rocker?
