Walden Magic Model 9'0"

Conditions: 2-3 ft.

Rider Info: Average skill, 185 lbs. 5'9", 46 yr old male

About the Ride: It was a fun board to ride. It suited my style. I had to work harder than the 9'6" and up to catch waves. Once I caught one, it responded really well. It turned really good. Lots of fun! I was able to pump it from my stand up position. It was better suited for my riding style. But on a really small day, you're gonna want a bigger board. It floated okay. Pushed a little water but still felt good and paddled well.

Ratings: For bigger and faster conditions, I'd give it 4-1/2 shakas out of 5. For smaller, slower conditions, it is still fun but the bigger boards are gonna beat you every time.
