too heavy

Have 8'0 Epoxy, which is very right, turn on dime, float very well for it's size. It's float like my other 9'0 and turn like 7'0.

One of my best hotdogging board. Turns on a dime. A bit floaty but can work well in bigger waves.

very fast on the wave but paddles like a dog due to its banana like rocker, noserides well and turns like a shortboard, its all about speed catching air getting covered up. not very stable due to its high performance nature, i own a 9'6" yellow/blue glass not epoxy

I have a 9'2 SLX, 2012 model. It fells like a short-board. Super fast in ANY condition. I am 85 kg and I can nose ride or just do floaters with it. I surfed many longboards from 8' to 10'. This board is definitely my favourite.

Walden......Who would own one of these boards. Why don't you guys put on a scientific board rating show down. Experienced surfers over a 3 month period surfing all brands. You've got Kooks rating the same board with experienced surfers, and therefore, asymmetrical conclusions. What ever happened to support your local shaper. The day Walden's foreign pop outs are rated over Dennis Ryder's TRULY magic had crafted boards is the day I stop reading this piece of shit rating system! With ll due respect - your rating system is meaningless.

Looking to move down from 9' longboard to shorter board that won't make me work too hard! I like to fly down the line and cut back hard, but don't need to do anything crazy.

Favorite board is Robert August WIR.... easy to paddle and catch waves

This board ( 9ft 6 epoxy magic ) is rated as their strongest but lasted 2 surfs in waist heigh waves. Then only to be told it was my fault. I didn't land on the board & was amazed to find it broken as I slid onto the board to paddle back out. No warrantee through Globle Surf Industries yet Waldren do give a warrantee. My advice is don't buy a Waldren & if you do Don't buy if its through Globle Surf Industries.

I have an 8' epoxy. Great all-round board for beginner to intermediate (I'm not an advanced surfer, so you'll have to wait until I get there ;-) Very buoyant, so paddles well on small and medium days. Planes superbly and is extremely stable at speed. So much so that it sacrifices some manuevarability unless you move the fin forward in the slot and/or get a fin with less sweep. Maybe the harder rail plays a role here... Good nose rider, which is an attribute to the shape and volume in the nose. GSI's production and quality control is pretty good. This is a durable board that, with normal care, will deliver years of service.

Sick board even if it is made in Thailand. My 9' 2" Paddles easy & floats me like a champ at 6'1" 200 lbs. Love the aggressive rocker, hard rails, & unique patented shape on my Magic Model. Flies fast down the line & turns on a seashell. Its long noserides essentially put Pinnochio to shame. I'll always be an Arizona kook, but at least I wont look, feel, or ride like one on my sick Magic Model longboard. Simply put, this board will kill your inner kook

Great board, it is a wave catching machine. It can turn on a dime. When I am on my board people always come up and tell how much they loved their Walden.
