How it surfs
Kepa Acero has featured the Magnetic in multiple Pukas segments — including the Magnetic Flying series where he rides it in point-break-quality European waves — showing that this is a genuinely versatile mid-length that scales up to overhead surf.
Independent buyer reviews from Pukas Surf Shop and Boardcave describe the Magnetic as the answer for surfers who want a twin fin they can ride every day, in almost any condition, without the small-wave-only compromise of a traditional fish.
