Plenty of reviews on this board. I just want to go smaller or I would keep it. Has nose deck patch…sorry for the unartistic design. This board does nose ride well with a small middle fin but much better tail rider and ripper.
On starboard side I scraped some of the decking off due to my leash. Doesn't effect anything. Near the tail I had a small, "Spider looking" ding that I placed some epoxy over and sanded. It never leaked or took on water just placed it over the ding cause it bugged me.
This could be a great board for you. Located in California near Pismo Beach.
