OUTLINE: Its fuller outline with the wide point slightly forward of centre means you can trim and glide forward on the board, adds to the great paddle power and to the stability and flow, while its round tail makes for smoother transitions between turns.
ROCKER: With an emphasis on being an all-rounder it has a low to medium rocker, this is why you will find this board paddles with ease and flows through those dead sections with minimal effort. A slight lift in the nose makes those late take offs easier and the slight lift in the tail makes for a nice drive through your turns.
CONTOURS: A nice classic slight rolled Vee from nose to tail makes it effortless for those rail to rail transitions, while the stance is anywhere on the board, however getting back over the fins the board will turn on a dime.
DECK LAYUP: 1 x 6oz + 1 x 4oz Fiberglass Cloth
BOTTOM LAYUP: 1 x 4oz cloth + 1 x 4oz Fin Patch
PERFORMANCE: Think summer grovely beach breaks when you don’t want a Longboard or it’s too small for your Shortboard or winter reefs and perfect points. This board can handle anything from waist to double overhead and any ability from beginner to advance. Enjoy

Polyester or PU construction uses traditional materials and laminating techniques to produce a strong, reliable surfboard with high-quality finishes. All polyester boards are CNC milled from the shapers files and laminated by hand using quality components such as Hexcel fiberglass, Silmar resin and Bennett foam. For years traditional polyester boards have been at the forefront of performance surfing. These boards feature a progressive flex pattern controlled by a high-grade timber stringer and feel very reliable under your feet. Polyester construction will perform in all surf conditions and can be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models. You can find out more about GSI’s surfboard construction on our surfboard construction page.

The glide!
This board paddles great. I have been surfing the 8' as a single fin. Classic speed and flow.
If you are thinking about getting this board, do it. You will not be disappointed.

More Huevo than Rancheros
Not sure how I managed to not to review this board so quickly. I am usually not a fan of "the one quiver board or of anything that can do lots of things just okay, but not anything great", but this board is definitely the exception. I ride this in waves all over Auckland of all sizes, and on occasion in Raglan, it works well on the small waves, it has enough float and speed to get me in and is quick enough on the slightly bigger days. I am 45, 5’10'' and weigh in at 100kg aka Dad bod. My board is 7'6'' and I wouldn't change the size at all. What is the down side of this board? I guess that would only be that it keeps me happy enough to not want to buy more GSI boards, good for me, bad for GSI...

Picked this up to try and improve my wave positioning and it turned into a regular favourite on those smaller days. Holds it own on bigger days

Bought this for my summer board but as soon as I got it out of the box it was too classic looking to surf. Could be the vest looking board I've ever seen. It is hanging as a feature in my house. Piece of art. Will surf it one day.

Got this in the 6’10” to ride on smaller days …but love it so much that I now ride it in surf upto 4-5ft. Easy to duck dive & paddles like a dream, the board is well considered & generates loads of speed. Have given the board a good pounding in the beach breaks with no issues.

I just bought the 6’10” and used for 3 ft waves beach break with a single central 8 3/4 flex fin. I am amazed how responsive and manoeuvrability it is. I was also paddling as fast as the longboarders and getting in the waves as early as them with a 6’10” and I am 6’2″!! I am really excited to surf at least overhead to see how it will handle. Hopefully they fixed the light glassing that the other guys have complained because with the manoeuvrability that I felt I will use it a lot. I can give another review in 5-6 months to see if I should keep the 5 stars here.

Love this board rides so good in all conditions. So glad I took a chance on it as it’s very different from my other boards. Heaps of speed, drive out of the turns and very smooth to turn.
