How it surfs
Buyer feedback consistently praises the GL 240's low-end lift. In weak Hawaiian summer surf where HA wings won't fly, the GL 240 catches waves conventional surfboards would miss.
The trade-off is discipline scope — the GL 240 is a surf specialist. For downwind or pump-heavy sessions, a high-aspect wing is a better tool.
