If I could only ride flatwater, I'd have one, but in the surf and waves, the short hulls are not for me. If it was 10 years ago and I was still able to ride 3 days a week, I'd get one as a 2nd ski in a second. The Freak and KDX felt like regular skis to me (similar to a SJ) but with wayyy diff handling. The ROK is a COOL COOL riding ski, like my trinity but you could REALLY whip it around, but still ride it straight and fast if need be...I could get into any of those, not sure how short those are,
....but I rode a BOB, Brawler, Stunt and Amp, and while they were all cool in their own way, they were not for me.
Still want to try an EME, Rickter and a Matrix....
