I'm think about picking up this surfer...I have never ridden it but can get a good deal on it. Has anyone ridden this surfer? ..if so, how was it, would you recommend it? <BR>Thumbs up or Thumbs down and why? <BR>Thank you!

I love mine. its loose when you want it to be but its still easy to control. im a bigger guy. im a bigger guy though. <BR> <BR>If you have never surfed before, definitely go with someone else for about 5 or 6 tries. then jump to the obrien. its hard to start out on right at the beginning, but after that its easy and you love the board. i love mine though.

Thanks man for the info -I usually surf at the end of my wakeboarding set when I'm tired, just never ridden the Alias before...I weigh about 200 lbs so thought it would be a good one.

Hey -does anyone else have any opinions on this surfer?
