How it surfs
Aggregate below is built from four editorial reviews — Surf n Show (Noel Salas + Nate Yeomans, 8-metric rating card), Hawaiian South Shore (two rider reviews from Chad and Caden), and Blink Surf — each normalized to a /5 score based on the reviewer's own verdict.
Consensus: user-friendly HP shortboard that punches above its weight in small-to-medium surf. Boardcave AU lists it at A$1,199 (from) with no rider aggregate on that URL — the numeric side is carried entirely by the editorial sources cited below.
