Looking to gain some insight on that board. Have read some good things on it, and I have also spoke to Mitch from wake9.com about the board and ordered one today.
But looking to see if any of my fellow Moomba owners have ridden this board and what their thoughts were. I was also looking at the Phase 5's but didn't want to shell out the money at this point in time.
My main problem is that I currently ride a Grindwater Slaysh. It is the only board I have ever ridden behind a boat. I surfed ocean waves for 15 years before moving to South Dakota and now I can surf again. But this Slaysh seems really slow, wants to pearl all the time.
Last weekend our wave was the best it ever was and I was finally doing some carving of the wave but if I fall to far back I can't pump this board at all. My research on the interwebs shows that this board is historically slow so I want to change it up. Best part was though I was able to do a couple of 180's but would lose so much speed.
So the last couple of days I have researched a bunch of skim style boards. Based on my surfing experience, Mitch recommended the Victoria Factor in the 50" for my height and build. I really hope I am not let down.
