Thoughts? Cool that it's made by Appletree with their 50k foam (but slightly more expensive than their boards in the US) and looks fairly similar in shape although that's hard to tell from the stock photos. It does look fairly different from Ken Adgate's personal board (who gave "input" on this design), but he rips and most of us are mere mortals in comparison!

Saw a pre production board at a demo day in the UK recently. It is a thing of beauty but it comes at a price. Here it's approx ?200 more than the Duotone SLS boards and quite a bit more than the Appletree boards who (I believe) make this. That said if I had the money I'd buy one!

Cool 2021 shape but way way too wide for 2024
I think, for pure wave use it might be a little wide, but for freestyle the shape seems quite good
I tried the 90L.. I was underwhelmed.
The board is kinda bulky for a 90L. Granted it takes off really easy but it is on the heavy side (as any other Appletree) and you have to be worried about leaving it under the sun.
Having said that people who tried the 62L and 75L talked way more enthusiastically about it. Especially the 62L seems to be the magic size
