7'0" Donald Takayama Scorpion II

The Scorpion II is a super fun and versatile board. Great for beginner to advanced surfers, I got it to ride everything from knee to overhead surf. And with the Softop, I figured it would be great to share with beginners, too.

“It rides and feels just like a hand glass board but has the comfort and forgiveness of a full soft EVA deck and rails. The hard, protective ASA bottom not only makes the board more ding resistant but it molds to the exact bottom contours from the shapers design, keeping all the essential elements exactly how they were intended.” (SurfTech)

The board has very little rocker, which I love, but that can be tricky for a beginner in moderate-sized surf.

There are a few minor punctures on the deck (the yoga-mat style material doesn't take on water) and a few cosmetic marks from my surf straps. Fins are included. The center-fin is an FCS Fluid Foils Soul Flex 7.0".
