Easy to rip on, easier to snap
Bought my first Germ from Mona Vale, Sydney this year. It was a 5'10, not future flex and i picked it up for 500 bucks as it had been in the store for a while. I'm 6'2 and weigh 82. First surf i was so pumped, convinced it was the best board i'd ridden. Then i snapped it on a 1 foot piece of turd closeout. I took it back and they gave me a store credit for the cost of the board as i broke it in the first week of ownership, stoked.

Psychedelic germ
I heard about this board on swellnet the other day and needed a new small wave board I weigh 79 kg so grabbed the 5 '10 as in the suggested guide . Wow surfed 2-3 ft semi bowly this thing is in another dimension to all other boards I've ridden in those conditions it's just like they said it would be and more, if your after a new short board I don't think you could do better it's so good I had to spread the word
