I've got a Mako 150 that I'm going to set up as a mutant... but I gotta keep it moving fairly quickly so it gets pretty bouncy in the chop... more start'n'stop action :-/ but it was that board that got me thinking about a more 'surfy' board for just cruising around... like a Sector.
At the ocean beach, my big TT (170x50 ) floats through the chop ok but trying to jump is pointless cos the water is never flat enough, and the waves are just too crappy to boost off - they only break within a few meters of the shore and are moving 3 different directions before they get there... and trying to 'surf' on that board is a bit silly.
All the reviews point to the Nugget but... it's quite small, isn't it? And I'm quite large...
Don't ALL surfboards get bouncy when the wind picks up?
