I have surfed this board many times and in many different locations. It was always fun and absolutely worth having it along. You won't be running any rivers with it. However any park and surf will now take on a whole new meaning for you. if you want to shred...standing up...this is the board you want.

This board is an amazing deal. At 400 bucks you cannot wish for a better river craft. I have run class 4 with this and it is outstanding. Get some padding for your knees and get out on the river.

About the tester I am a solid class v boater. I have had a couple creeker in the past. I play a lot but have to work from a creekboat. I run he waterfalls here in Mexico, from 6 to 40 feet. About the test environment I tested the boat on our local waterfall run, 500 feet in a miles. Biggest drop 27 feet (right now only 20). Review I really like the outfitting: super comfortable and easy to set up. The bulkhead is really sweet, it can be widened if you move it back in the boat - very easy on the toes as well. The boat is very stable and does not want to flip. Nice to roll back once it's over. It surfaces fast and steady after a drop, even if you crank your weight forward for the landing, it still sufaces right side up. Landing flat is a little jarring but no worse than any other boat. Conclusion This is just the first day of running the Mystic... I'll add to this post after...
