At 8'0" and 72.2 liters, it has plenty of foam to paddle easily and catch waves early, without feeling like too much board once you're up and riding.
The low rocker helps you get into waves early, while the pintail and vee through the bottom keep the board responsive and easy to turn.
It's a great board for someone who is still building confidence in the lineup.
The R-Series is made in the USA from durable, waterproof, recyclable foam, with a Futures fin box and fin included.
