The Jojo Shaping Whole New Test appears to be a board designed for challenging conditions and dedicated surfers. Overall performance is geared towards handling raw power and unpredictable weather, requiring significant effort from the rider, often referred to as 'mahi' in New Zealand. Riders need to be prepared for long drives, early mornings, and the potential for less-than-ideal surf, embracing a 'Dunedian psyche' that accepts harsh conditions. The board seems best suited for experienced surfers who are willing to put in the work for potentially rewarding waves, particularly on the South Island of New Zealand. Key features include its ability to handle powerful ocean conditions and its presence in a surf culture rich with local references and striking landscapes. Pros include the potential for epic waves when conditions align and the immersive experience of exploring New Zealand's surf scene. Cons are the demanding nature of the waves, the harsh weather, the significant effort required ('mahi' and long drives), and the cold water that necessitates heavy gear. Gloves are often a necessity, and riders should be prepared for unpredictable outcomes.
