Awesome board on its rail, bit slow on full waves compared to my Webber afterburner but beats it everywhere else. Love the extra rocker in hollow waves.

This board is great! I've bought it as an all-rounder and have not been disappointed. Paddle power is better than expected and has increased my wave count for sure. The outline is a bit different in that it's narrow enough through the nose and has some tail lift to take steeper drops but rounder through the body giving some forgiveness and drive in smaller days. On top of all that the artwork is amazing and SPC construction seems really sturdy.

Super fun board. Despite it's small size, it is a really drivey solid feeling board. Doesn't get up speed that quickly on flatter waves, it seems to need a hollower or bigger wave to get that tail lift happening for it to feel loose, once you have a bit of speed though, its really fast and responsive and holds a solid rail through turns. Paddles really well for a small board.

Beautifully shaped board! Super stable and a paddling machine. I got it as a five fin for the versatility but have been riding it mostly as a quad which gives it awesome drive.

I am very satisfied with this board! The board is very fast and paddles and turns really well. I wasn't sure about ordering over the internet but really wanted a Gary McNeill board. It is exactly what I thought it would be and more. I love this board.

"Nice and stable paddling in... Good float and buoyancy. My aim was to find a board to bridge between a mal and a shortboard. These dimensions hit the mark for sure. I'm very happy with the outcome!"

My first surf on the Entity was Double OH+ on an outside bank beach break, this board caught waves easily, handled the drops, and carried speed off the bottom, both forehand and back hand like no other board I have had. It has then proceeded to do this in 2-3ft slop and clean 4ft waves, it is so good in fact that I wonder why I also purchase a Rasta Torus Twin, which I also think is amazing, but in almost any surf as lovely as I find that board this one has a combination of fishy feeling looseness and speed in a straight line and on rail control like I have never felt. This is probably the best board I have ever ridden, makes me feel like I know what I am doing on almost every wave!!!

I ride this in a quad setup. It's fast, stable, drives down the line really well, but still turns tight. Bit of extra foam under the chest and a more forward wide point allow for early entry into waves. It's a great fun board, that is perfect as a daily board, but will also work in more solid waves up to around double overhead.

My DHD DX1 is a very good board especially in sucky hollow wave it does not dig rails and very fast and responsive and holds its line through the barrel. its extra strong glassing feels unbreakable which give me confidence in surfing solid waves. all in all a very good board.
