2018 Jimmy Lewis Super Frank
« on: November 01, 2018, 12:26:17 AM »
Super frank / lean 8’0 x 30″x 4.2" liters 115L

Bought end of june.

nice looking board, light at 8kg non carbon material, nice quality and construction as you would expect from JL.

as a newbie the quad fin setup is nice to have, its fast and you can drop in at any angle and drive through, its so stable. The thruster somewhat slow but I'm working on that wave positioning thing ;)

at my level/height/weight I don't think I could go to a lower volume.

easy to catch a wave, like's late take off and the maneuverability is nice.

its a little unstable on rough days (backwash etc) but manageable and the gloss paint job is slippery.

Overall I'm happy with this board, good advised and service from Rob JL Australia

80kg 5'5" beginner to intermediate and I can't do cut back yet ;)

Beautiful board.

I rode my 7'6 Wide today. I've had it a year now and still love it.

Ditto - I have the 7'6" Lean, and everytime out on it I feel like I'm getting it more dialed in and getting more speed/drive out of it in smaller conditions. Definitely a sweet spot on paddling into a wave where the bottom really starts to work and gives a nice takeoff.
