What it was designed to do
The Padillac sits in the Gun / Big Wave board family and follows a Gun / Big Wave direction. This describes design intent; it is not a score, award or claim that the model suits every surfer.
What it does well
Padillac follows a Gun / Big Wave direction within the Gun / Big Wave family. Its moderate paddle support and Thruster, 5 Fin fin setup help define where it may fit; the final result still depends on size, construction, rider and conditions.
