Foamdust, i only had a couple of sessions with the Mutant and the Good Karma is still waiting for the right conditions.
The Mutant really flows and links turns easily, it's a pleasure to ride, never goes super fast (under my feet) but never slows down. I really enjoyed it in a long right hander point break. On the other hand, if you want to make "high performance" turns of the top, you'll be surprised how fast this board changes directions... love it.
On monday i'll write Stu a full feedback (i spect to get good waves this weekend), so i'll post here my impressions. By the way, the board came with a TK flex fin and i want to try it with some of my Halcyon's.
What i can tell you is that Stu is not a "good shaper", he's a "GREAT SHAPER" no doubt, and the glass job on his boards is great also.
More thougts on monday.
Have a nice weekend!
Coque.

Hi JP!
First of all, let me tell you that I didn't really choose this board...
One day, a friend of mine bought the hogfish and, soon, he started to complain about it's buoyancy and the fact that he was too skinny for it.
Being heavier, I've tried the board, surfed with it for a week or so before my friend found a really nice second hand poly fish.
He needed cash and asked for a really low price...So, considering that summer was here I bought the hogfish.
I like it in small beach break waves as it's light and really responsive. But you need to be a backfoot surfer and weigh at least 180 pounds to turn it properly as it floats like a boat...
It handles medium sized pointbreaks, also...
But a good epoxy custom surfboard would be a better choice, for sure.
I don't think I would buy a brand new surftech off the racks

Why you wanna slag the man's boards? That's like someone showing you a picture of his wife and you saying, "damn, she's a pig, ain't she?" It's just wrong.
And those boards look groovy to me.

It's ok, it's not the first time I've been "slagged" on this board!For the most part, the crowd here is pretty close minded, with the exception of a few....The boards are:
9'8" Cooperfish NoseDevil
9'7" Noserider (shaped and glassed by me)
6'0" South Coast double ender single fin
5'10" Enyon swallowtail pig 2+1
5'6" Flat fish (Shaped and glassed by me)
Oh, and believe it or not, some people CAN hit the lip on boards other than what the pros ride...

6'2" beat up merrick with leaking fcs plugs
5'8" move or die twin keel
6'2" move or die thruster on the way
6'4" dev
6' beater single fin
also going to get a move or die semi gun for a certain baja beach break. Nice pic tenover, also if anyone wants the merrick for 15 bucks with fcs fins it's yours. Board works good just takes on a little water and get somewhat heavy.

Mo_Fo- You funny guy. I'm not saying I have style, just that because a certain board doesn't have three fins, or pulled in tail, or this or that, it doesn't mean you can't SURF it! OF course you can get barrelled on a longboard, and of course you can hit the lip on a single fin....At the same time, how many jacka$$es do you see on "modern shortboards" that suck balls and just wiggle away, or look like they're trying to get dingleberries out of their a$$es going down the line? A LOT
