Lost my "small" board at the lake on Sunday; no sign of it still farewell, Flyradical3 139x42, we barely knew you
So I'm looking for something to be my powered-up and playing around board...
Not going to unhook (sorry), won't be hitting sliders or cable parks, not doing anything more radical than simple old-school and some small loops...
Need a board that: jumps well - goes big and lands nice cos I like flying won't hammer my knees or ankles, can cope with lake chop and crappy ocean waves, has a good bottom end but goes well when the wind really blows, won't spray me in the face. And is tough, cos I'm a Clydesdale...
Oh, and is really brightly coloured so I can see the bloody thing!
It's hard to know what to choose when the reviews or manufacturer pages all say "goes upwind like a rocket! really comfortable in the chop! excellent pop! that's because it's stiff / flexible / has a lot of rocker / has no rocker"
Here's a list I compiled on my own.... can possibly get a demo on the Cabrinha, Naish or Slingshot boards - everything else will be order and pray. I was happy with the range of my Flyradical, and how it overlapped with the door.
