Makes transitioning to a shorter board easy!
van Joachim, Retail Management, Blue Tomato, 9 jan. 2023
I am a beginner to intermediate surfer who's mainly traveling to the atlantic coast of France, Spain and Portugal and I was looking for a board that would perform well in small to head-high waves. Also I wanted to transition to a shorter board from my beginner mini-malibu. The RNF 5'11 made this transition easy!
It still has a lot of volume so you can catch waves with ease. On smaller days it works super well and on bigger days, it is stable enough when taking off into the wave. Practicing turns is so much fun with this board! I really got the best of both worlds: stability and speed when paddling for waves like you're on a bigger board, and the maneuverability of a short board that let's you practice turns easily. Because of its construction it is really good for travelling and won't dent easily. Only downside is that you have to be careful with leaving it out in the sun for too long, because the adhesive that connects foam and bottom can dissolve. Just cover it with your boardbag or board sock and you'll be fine.
I would recommend this board to anyone looking to go from a funshape board to a shorter board to practice turns, or to advanced surfers that are looking for a board to travel with and they don't need to worry about dents. It might also work as a beginner river surfboard, but I didn't get the chance to try it on a river wave yet. This board is so much fun, you won't regret buying it!
