Anybody out in the zone (or on Oahu) had a chance to try out the Welo from Tropical Blends?

the Welo surfs pretty good, I am 5-6" 190lbs
board is stable, so it is easy on the knees and ankles
The rails are surfboard type rails, way different from the fat rails of some of the other popular boards.  Last time i checked tropical blends the were sold out, I understand that another shipment should be in soon.

It's shaped by Kyle Bernhardt and produced in the Sumitomo factory by Tropical Blends. I'm 220lbs and I find it very stable, paddles well, and surfs well.  Color scheme is a bit flashy for me.
