I was fortunate enough to get this 9'5 elevator from Bing 12 days ago at about 5pm. The cool part was Smokey and I pulled it straight from the packing box and put it right into a travel bag as I was due on a plane to coffee land 12 hours later. I didnt really get a good chance to check out the board till I unwrapped it many hours later to wax and ride right before dark. This is my third elevator and after about twenty sessions on it, I think its the best. This one is thinned out alot and really foiled. It features a very pronounced s-deck like I prefer on my mid-range boards and a glass-on greeNOW fin...I really love this board off the bottom and in the pocket. Alot of people underestimate how turnable Matt's longboards are...this one fits how I am currently surfing at the moment; rails and stretch fives to laybacks. Cant wait to give it a spin in cold water tomorrow to see how she goes here. big thanks to Will over at Roots Surfcraft for tightening 'er up after some slight damage on the plane ride back, thanks buddy
