I am looking for an all-around twin-tip that goes upwind well, pops well, soft landings, is kind to my old knees and does not spray (much). I realize that some of these objectives are contrary, so I am looking for a balanced performance that hits them all well - but is not the best at any one aspect.
My weight is 190 lbs and based on reviews have it narrowed down to the Shinn Monk and the Wainman Joke.
I am thinking that these would be the sizes I would probably get:
Waiman Joke 138 x 41.5
Shinn Monk 132 x 41 or 135 x 42
I have an OR Mako 140 that I ride when its really nuking, wavy or super choppy. It rides like a smaller board due to rocker and concave.
I would appreciate any constructive input on these boards from riders who own or have ridden them.
Thx,
Ed
