With everything the exact same as the first version, except a slightly thinner rail throughout and a bit more nose rocker in the nose area (about 3/4 of an inch), I feel this mimics a standard shortboard even more than then 1.0 version.
Riding this board roughly two inches shorter than your regular shortboard seems to work well for most people. So if extra paddle power and beating sections with heaps of pivot and speed in subpar conditions is what you’re looking for, then this is it as far as thrusters go.
