Recommended in 2-6' surf, in average to good conditions. "I've ridden it at Lowers, Surf Ranch, a really good day in Ventura, a point in Hawai'i, and it felt good on my backhand at Uluwatu. Most excited I've been riding this board was in poor quality waves in Florida beach breaks." - Kelly Slater "The peakier the better --- it's short enough that it pivots incredibly while still holding speed, like no other board." - Dan Mann "Best in chest to head-high beachies. Point breaks too, but it excels most at beach breaks when the waves hit that chest to head-high size." - Kevin Schulz Board features: Tested over many years, Kelly's refined the S Boss in Hawai'i, Bali, Lowers, Surf Ranch and beyond. It's got a uniquely full outline with volume hidden throughout, a relaxed rocker, and forgiving fin cluster. A double concave runs throughout the back half of the board, funneling water off the round tail. Designer: Rob Machado, Mannkine Technology: I-Bolic 2.0 Core with Fiberglass Lamination
