I just got a Mutant 8'11 and it is by far the best board I've ever
owned. It is easy to plane, turns great, tacks well, and jumps well.
Most importantly, I don't worry about getting home on it. At 200#,
this is a concern on smaller boards. I find it amazing how well the
board floats while also handling the chop and turning well.
Bye.
