Versatile, paddles well and can turn on a dime, the Panacea Egg lives up to its name: A surfboard design “cure all” that’s the perfect one board quiver—ready to handle most any type of conditions you’ll encounter at home or abroad. Because of its ample volume and neutral design characteristics, I recommend an 8’0” as an ideal starting point for this design. This Panacea is also what I commonly suggest when longboard surfers want to have their first go at a smaller board.
