You able to give any feedback on the board and how it rides, paddles etc. and compare to other boards?

How's the rail-are they 'boaty' rails or refined?

this is normally my big wave/ onshore slop board as if feels a little big for me in most conditions normally prefer the starboard 7'7 (which is basically the same board just smaller).

however this board its defiantly really stable paddling and taking off late for its size.
its taken me a while to figure out a good fin set up for it, but once i got it right the board feels really smooth and can load alot of power through turns.
the rails have got a very short board feel on them, nice and boxy off the tail and tapering into a more rounded shape. at first i thought the rails looked a bit to 'boaty' and would catch. but they seem feel really smooth, with just enough to push through the flatter sections and still hold in punchy stuff.
hope that helps Lincoln.
