Overview
Teaching a child to kneel and get up from deep water is what the Black Magic is shaped for. A cable-actuated retractable fin and the Aquatic Hook set it apart, and smooth bottom contouring supports the ride.
The board suits kids and adults alike, which makes it practical for a family on one boat. The retractable fin gives some flexibility in how it tracks. Maximum rider weight is not stated.
Who it's for
Families teaching newer riders to start in deep water are the target. Experienced riders chasing tricks may want something more advanced.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
The fin retracts by cable, which changes how the board grips and releases in the water. A smooth, contoured bottom supports stable travel, and the hook ties the board to the tow line.
