Super fast, snappy and well-balanced, the Powerwave 257 is smooth, has a big range and can handle bump-and-jump to wave-sailing conditions. (For more details on this item see the AW magazine Test issue.)

Absolutely loved this board--quick to plane, snappy in the turns, great for jumping. The footpads on this board are fantastic--the best of any in the test. —Al Chinappi

Probably the best wave board in the test--very fast, great turning/jumping, relatively quick to plane. This would be a great East Coast board, from bump&jump to onshore waves with anything from 4.0 to 5.5. Much better bump&jump board than the RRD Cult series, or the Starboard Surf Series--handles chop extremely well.—Al Chinappi

A good board in waves, great speed. Fun!—Bill Russell

Great wave board. Probably more advanced in the waves than my ability to test it. Nice shape. Anybody can ride it.—Tom Stevenson

Board was very easy to jump. It is not a "loose" turny board but it is fun and easy to manage in chop.—Mary Mosier

Not nearly as much fun as the Maui Force--felt a lot bigger. Definitely a good board for general sailing, but not my preference.—Jody Seaborn
