COMMENTs -
The Blaster has good control, even in chop, and is fast downwind. The wider nose is great and will reduce the risk of sail damaged. Our only concern is that it doesn’t have enough rocker for small waves.

COMMENTS -
Can I take it home? Very controllable in rough conditions, fast!—Bill Spurlock

Good standard wave board. Did tend to spin out if overpowered (5.5).—Bill Russell

An "old school" bump & jump board. Felt like an old friend. Relatively narrow & thin.—James Hirshberg

I want one of these boards for Xmas. I felt 50% better in the surf and in transitions. 8'6" with a 5.0 sail is perfect combo. Carves jibes exceptionally well. Fast, great bump and jump board.—Tom Stevenson

I loved this board! It's easy to jibe, easy to tack, and very loose and responsive to foot pressure. It's controllable both overpowered and underpowered. I don't like to sail very fast, so my speed evaluation may not be valid. —Kristen Olson
