WOW, What a fantastic board. Its the first true single fine/noserider I have ridden. First few waves felt nice, like riding the dining room table at 24" wide, so it was very stable, even up on the nose. But the biggest suprise was how well it turned. I waited for a bigger wave and got up some speed across the face then just stood on the tail and layed it over and did a roundhouse cutback as hard and fast as my H.P. longboards. Very Very happy.
Note to self: when I go to a shaper to make me a board take their advice and let them do their thing. Mistake I have made in the past was telling the shaper lots of things that are trendy at the time and they dont always translate to a good board.
With the Pieter Easyrider I was very nervous about the width and the 18mm of nose concave. But it all works great and this will be my go to board for a while I think.

Yep...we've all done it...most shaper's can make what you want...the best ones will make you what you need
So awesome dude... We need more board reviews on here, it's great to hear about everyday surfers experiences on a board.
Pieter strikes me a a real master of his craft, someone thats really looking at what works and why. He seems more about crafting sick functional boards that suit the rider rather than those these days who are more about selling coffee and t-shirts and getting sales by having the cool kids ride their boards.
Really keen on one of his Logs, maybe a 50's Pig for me though but I've just blown my dough on a few mid-lengths lately so I'm out.
Anyways thanks for the report and hope she keeps you stoked for many a wave to come... YEEEW!
