Gunnar:

The board looks great.

I am in the market for a board as are a lot of the guys at the local beach here so any input you can provide on these items will help us. Thank you.

Where can you get them if you are in the USA?
What are the costs fully shipped in the USA?
Any idea of sizes available here in terms of liters?
What are the features of the board? Why is it a good board? Based on what I have read its inexpensive in USD terms, and its well made, and light... doesn't stick, has a high amount of volume relative to its size so is dense, etc.
I would say it rides and has a profile much like the fanatic 5.4 ? would you agree if that's a fair statement.

Hi Russ,

I don't work for Groove.  But I know they ship worldwide.  I think at the moment they only make the G-Fuerte in 70 and 100L.

What makes this board good?  It basically has all the stuff I figured out over the last year.

The Hard and sharp rail shape in the tail (back foot) area prevents side slipping and drives the board forward when pumping.  The sharp edge at the back allows for a easily release for the water.  It has a small amount for rocker im the tail to help release from the water.  The Volume distribution is set to have the max volume under the front foot position which prevents the nose from sinking when getting up from you knees and this really helps to balance on the board. 

It has a "Drag" handle in the nose which is there to help you drag the board through shorebreak.  This can also be used to balance yourself on the board.

Compared to the 5'4 Fanatic it is lighter and stronger, does not stick when you touch down, and does not slip sideways when pumping in really light winds like the Fanatic does.
