The construction is great and it's light, durable and it sure looks incredible! The board has grip which is needed for waves and the user friendliness is great, riding switch is easy and it's very forgiving in those small waves. You can handle a lot of power because of the grip. This board definitely does where it's designed for: riding waves. But for freestylers, especially people who like wake style moves, I would recommend a different board, the AP 125 perhaps? The website also states it's made for speed, but I don't think it's an extremely fast board. All in all this is a great board, I would recommend it to anyone who likes unlimited grip and waves.
