Stable, easy to noserider and whippy. However, I feel like there is a drag when paddling. I think it might be the tail kick, which causes me to position more toward the nose. I had the same issue with the Neo Classic in TB Silver. I'm about 185lb at 5'9.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI got a chance to surf CJ's personal 9'8 Slasher in full carbon. The tail kick is not as pronounced as the production version. It was balanced. Felt very neutral when paddling without any drags. Still easy to noseride and whip around. This is what's holding me off on getting the production version.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes anyone else feel the drag when paddling on the Slasher?\n        \n\n\nClick to expand...\n\n\n\n\nMy 20 pounder paddles really well.\n\n\n\nHad 2 sessions on it yesterday and you can really go for the nose in very sucky sessions and it will hold in.\n\n\n\nInspires confidence and will reward if you go for it I find.\n\n\n\nDosen' like to be surfed cautiously.\n\n\n\nHas gears I haven't even put it into yet.\n\n\n\nMy mate has a poly version too and it's lighter than mine with an inch smaller pod.\n\n\n\nSome variation in off the rack poly versions hand shaped in Oz."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["328800"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8577199987485074, "license": "Public Domain"}
