It's a moderate performance rocker, so whilst not the most extreme out there, it's still going to have a fair whack to allow for the highest possible performance.
Why is it that every shortboard now has to be sold as being able to work in every condition? This board looks like it just would not be at all fun in a waist high wave. If it's the pinnacle of performance why market it as an all-rounder? It's just confusing.
Sorry for any confusion! It's definitely an out-and-out high performance blade, but that doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be surfed in only pumping waves. Surfers of a certain skill level will be able to extract every ounce of performance this board has to offer regardless of the conditions, making it more suitable to them than something a little better rounded like the Xero Gravity for example.
Great review. Does Reuben prefer PU?
In the Monsta 10, yes. Been enjoying the Raging Bull and Xero Gravity in HYFI though.
Moderate rocker?

that looks like a banana.
Certainly a lot of rocker in the nose, but that's what keeps it performing in the pocket so well!
