Anyone have any experience/ feedback on the new 2020 phase 5 hammerhead board? Curious on how the peanut shape performs? And why the change?
don't have any experience with the hammerhead but i came across this video when i was looking at boards a while back. 2:53 they talk about the hammerhead.

Are you riding or learning revert? Aka the board backwards. The board is great for learning revert, otherwise I'd get a matrix.Quote:

But I do not hear people talking about that issue on the Matrix w/the pointed nose.
Just buy the Matrix and you will never need another skim board ever. I mean if Parker Payne or Sean Silveira haven't outgrown the board I think you should be good.
Yep.......Quote:

everyone told me that board would be too hard to ride BUT it has turned into the boat board that I have used to teach almost every new surfer we have taken out.
it's not my fav as I prefer surf style but everyone loves the daniello and if the matrix is anything like it, I'd jump all over it.
hammerhead is interesting but I can't say I'd spend 6 or 7 bills on it. looks like a fad-shape that won't last.
Hey - Don't jinx me!! I found a good deal on the leftover 2019 Matrix after my 2020 Wakemakers deal fell through. Saved a few hundred on that one.Quote:

I got to ride a carbon Model X last year when I did my mentoring sessions with Silveira and really liked it.Quote:

I mostly ride revert so finless, if you really want to get good quick try riding the board backwards and switch. ����
Has anyone surfed the key?Quote:

I'm ready for summer and I have not taken my snowboard trips out west yet.

It’s tough getting a new board during winter months. I have mine hanging on the wall and every time I walk by I think about trying it out.Quote:
