So for a quick review.. the quality/build construction on the board is solid. If Dieter is making these in his garage then props to him.

Mitch had the medium rocker which seemed to be in between a Water Monster and a Remote. It felt faster/rode a little higher out of the water than a WM but not as high/fast riding as a Remote.

The nose/tail stay nice and wide giving it a more boxy shape and one concern before getting it on the water was the responsiveness of the boards edge to edge control. However it has some nice sharp/defined rails that helped it hold an edge but it still felt plenty playful while finless (no fin holes on the board so thats nice as well).

The grind base on this thing is defiantly the fastest/smoothest base ive ever ridden and there was nothing overly noticeable after the first day in terms of marks/scratches on it.

Board had a nice smooth snap from ollies but obviously this will change from person to person depending on technique. I wasnt the biggest fan of the concave since the nose/tail felt like an angled ramp similar to the Remotes. I wish it was a smooth transition instead of something like this __/ .

Overall a great board and I'd look at getting one for myself only I'd get something in the 41" range for my size. I think Mitch picked up a 39 or 39.5 and it was on the small size. Width wise it was fine for my size 13 shoe though which was a huge plus in my book.

Solid board and props to Dieter

I'm a big fan of the board so far. The base is amazing at the cable. So smooth and fast on rails.
It's a mix between a WM and a remote which is perfect to me.

Just don't order if you are in immediate demand of a board. It takes a few months

wakemitch, did you ever post a picture of this board? If not, you should.

I almost only post from my phone and you can't upload photos from a phone on here. I'm lazy

I've ridden this board at the cable 3 days and once behind a boat. I am really liking it.

This pic is from before I rode it. But even after hitting features you can hardly tell

BB King Graphic with the Mississippi River Delta in the background.

Love this deck! the concave is smooth and not abrupt or as angled as a remote. Wish it was a little bit lighter.

I'd love to see pics of the concave Laughing

All those graphics and bases look great. Cool

The, skate was a wedding gift from my wife, hence the rings on the board, if anyone was wondering.
