Although I've paddled them both; it wasn't back to back. They are both boats I would struggle to paddle downwind so unfortunately I can't give any feedback on their wave riding characteristics. However I was surprised at the choppy conditions I managed them in even though I'm of a low to mid intermediate skill level. Not surprisingly they both feel very efficient. The Surge has a very tight bucket (a bit too tight for me). Apparently there is also a wide seat Surge which I would very much like to try. The 560 is quite loose on me. The 560 ML fits me almost perfectly.
I'm 176 cm, 78 kg with about a 100 cm hip measurement.
