“To me personally , Evolve Bamboo GTR AT variant can be likened to that of the nimble early 1960s-late 1970s Land Rover and toughness of High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle. In addition, as like the 1970's muscle-cars, there are possibilities for increasing board toughness modifications. For short (1 mile)-to-medium (19 mile) distances , Evolve Bamboo GTR AT variant fits my task(s) very nicely - and elegantly I dare to say.. To return back to start point, say, from 19 mile mark to 0 mile mark - charge plug to outlet wait 3-4.5 hours or carry bkup batt. Evolve Bamboo can surpass and stretch to another 19-20.4 miles waypoint. If I plan for time constraints, speed to get to my waypoint(s) is irrelevant . The variant's weight is negligible for my board day-pack. And allows room to move for another backup. Because Evolve has given me the freedom of Bamboo meshed with time-tested fiberglass composite, I can water-proof almost up to ISP 4 or maybe even 5 international standard -and with the variant's wheeled system setup is fine for my purposes. Also, I can increase Bamboo's cushioning between truck bases and board plane. I am a longtime traditional surfer from the land where surfing began to which gave inspiration to other brotherly traditional ocean-bourne Pacific surfers to create their surfing variations -sea, air, land. In the tropics, majority of people , not masses, know Bamboo's proven durability and other useful capabilities from which has been passed by word for centuries, at most millenia. No matter what any other board technology may arrive and as long as this place is still earth, Bamboo has its place to provenly endure this place's harsh weather environments and distances. One other comment. It is not about the speeds we surfers reach, it is about the freedom to do smooth fluid movements from waypoint to waypoint. And to do again and again to infinitum. Thanks much Evolve for the Bamboo land board and room for future modification possibilities, just like my other 7 surfboards -shorties to guns.”
“Its amazing, if you're hesitant about the price tag can't, don't sweat it. Its great! smooth, chilled and nice to look at, I am riding this around in a very hilly area and it chews it up like its flat. Only problem, is a 30km distance isnt long enough. Its too much fun.”
“This is what you are looking for, take a deep breath and hit the order button.

Thank you Team Evolve!

“Love the board. Sleek design. Comfortable riding. High speed with great control on the board. Was recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. Highly recommend.
But... (and this is the only issue I had)
If you are purchasing it make sure you select priority/ express/ fast road courier especially if you live remote. I went with free shipping and even tho the ETA was given to me I received it 2 weeks late. Evolve were great but the courier company was clueless. They couldn't find my item anywhere and couldn't give me an actual date of arrival. It was very frustrating.
So to avoid make sure pay for priority delivery.
But the board itself. The best!!!”
Hey Alex,
Thanks so much for your review, we appreciate your feedback!
If there is an option for express or priority post with dangerous goods items, we'd love to hear about it. As for the courier company used in your order - we have now stopped using them.
Stoked you're loving the board and if you need us for anything, you know how to find us!
Regards

“Loved to surf through my 20s and 30s. Moved to Texas in my 40s. No waves, only the couch to surf. Just turned 50 and I have evolved! Bamboo GTR = endless wave. Stoked 4-ever!”
“I did a lot of research before buying the Bamboo GTR and I couldn’t be happier with it! I’ve had the board about a month and I look to get out and ride everyday if possible. It took me about 2-3 rides before I was really carving and about 2 weeks to feel very confident cruising on the board. I’ve purchased a few accessories already and TOP NOTCH QUALITY ON EVERYTHING FROM EVOLVE! Buy one... You will not regret it!!!”
