Surprised its listed as 140 lts. More 125 by the float it just gives my 96 kg frame. Love this board as it has many personalities depending on how is riden. From the tail ,dimond shaped, its sharp thin rails have it carving turns like a performance short board. Mid ships trimmed its flat rocker accelerates the board to make sections. Then theres large nose riding scalloped single concave that gulps in air to float the nose. Come forward to nose you feel the board settle and slow a little, as the under shape is less hydrodynamic. My weight means it needs to be in the pocket for the board to be pushed to maintain its speed, but 5 toes over is easy. I Like the forward rail sharp that bites a face.

Gong 8.0 nfa xtr. 115lt. The lowest vol board I ride. Not really into paddling it into waves Early, more sit on the brake and two strokes and flat rocker pulls your in. Fast and eager to please on a wave. Stiff carbon constriction chatters a little on an uneven face. Rides well forward on the nose, familiar gong single concave feels responsive and floaty. Pulled tail sharp rear rails carve turns when weighted hard.
