Meet The Acid Test Board Noa Deane Would Recommend For The Everyman Ripper
Two-time Stab In The Dark winner Jon Pyzel's Astro Pop is a Sometimes the simplest of mantras yield the most revelatory moments when it comes to surfboard design.

According to Noa Deane "if it looks good, usually it goes good," and that theory was put to the test most obviously with the double-winged swallow-tail that Jon Pyzel built in his Wailua shaping bay for his first submission into the Electric Acid Surfboard Test.

"Built off of the Astro, the retro fish weʼve been making for years, the Astro Pop has a more pulled in nose and tail, with a little wing... designed to give you some extra spark and easy paddle in weaker, slower waves, while still keeping a performance edge and super fun to ride in good surf."

The Astro Pop, a souped-up take on Jon's closest thing to a retro fish, the Astro, is meant to bridge the gap between a high-performance small wave shortboard, and a rocket fish. The result is an uncompromising design that will handle a broad spectrum of conditions, with easily unlockable magic glide and speed that even the everyman can access.

The sexy little fish has a mild beak nose that elegantly hides thickness all the way through the nose.
"Itʼs not overly chunky, more like a daily driver type board but with easy paddling aided by the flatter entry rocker," says Pyz.

"It just suits so many levels," says Jon Pyzel. "You can rip on it, or you can be average guy, and everyone's sort of getting the benefits of the design."

"For the normal, everyday guy who just wants to have a fuckin' fun surf, you can have a fun surf on this, for sure," says Noa.
