Tried a fartknocker once for only a couple thigh high crappy waves. Was impressed with it's paddlebility and down the line speed. That was my first impression but really didn't get to ride it enough to give a solid review though
Tried the fartknocker and traded it in. We were at different points in our lives. No rocker, and man can you feel it. It was also 2L under where it needed to be for me so grain of salt.
