“So the concept of the earth being flat, was one of mankind’s very first “fake news “ stories. This Akila Aipa 2+1 is in fact very real! My first session, out at Diamond Head on small but clean South East swell revealed the board’s “fun factor” right out of the gates! I happened to snag one of the larger waves upon entering the lineup and paddling into it was a such as breeze it was a shocker! The team at H.S. (David) convinced me to go up in volume by a liter and it just so happens that my standard shorty is 5’6.” That extra liter and a half made it way easier paddling, and in no way affected my ability to put the board on rail. The biggest surprise was the hold coming off an “extended bottom turn” which allowed me to project into the the lip a tail drifting snap, to which my surf buddy replied, “Wow! That board’s loose! What is that?” I simply said, “It’s the the Flat Earth by Akila Aipa and Firewire. Thank you!” Several waves later, post session, I can honestly say the board is one the most intriguing and fun board’s I’ve ridden in quite some time. The drive & speed that the comes with “twin + 1 configuration,” along with tight maneuverability off the tail area makes it easy to understand how this might be your “go-to-board” this summer. “Two thumbs up...Double shakas...” Get one, you won’t regret it.”
