The Soul by Sunova Surfboards

I stopped into Spunky’s surf shop in Fort Pierce and picked up the 6’4” Soul. Waves at the jetty that day were head high with a little chop. I put a set of Futures AM2 Techflex fins in and surfed it as a quad. The board did great! It paddles well, catches waves with ease and goes fast. I have had 4 sessions on the board without a pressure ding. Very pleased, I think it’s going to be my everyday board for a while. More to come! Impressions by Mark Schneider

Torq 5'10" PGR in ACT construction

I was initially shocked by the speed coming out of turns, most notably on cutbacks. There was no loose of speed at any point in that maneuver. The changing of direction anywhere on the wave had a sling shot effect, whether it was a simple pump down the line or a full on carve. This certainly adds a wow factor to your performance, and puts a significant spike on the fun meter.
