For which style of riding? Surf? Skim?

(shad_s_williams)

A combination of both. More to the skim side but still fast enough to sneak back into the wave.

Green loogey quad fin set up and Phase 5 Drew Daniello Pro Model.

No one board is going to be the best skim board and best surf board. You need more than one board.

I'd say the IS Yellow/Green is a good crossover.

What about SMED? I have been looking into the IS Green, but have heard nothing but good about Smed Surfs.

I just rode a Smed Wombat 4'6" the other day and had a blast on it. Very fast.

I still like my Shred Stixx board. I have the Thresher. Also have a Vernor 4'8" Quad fin that is super fast! I really want to try on of the Phase 5 Drew boards too.

Derek, how are you liking your Vernor? You said you still like your Thresher. Which one do you prefer, or what are strengths/weaknesses of both?

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a Smed boards disciple here. Fun, fast, and solid.

Kenny,
I haven't been on the Vernor since I moved. I rode someone else's in TX a couple of times and man was it fast! I can't give a good comparison of the two because I haven't spent as much time on the Vernor. The Thresher is fast and easy to maneuver, I've got 360 down pretty well on it too. I think the Vernor will be easier to air out, I haven't gotten the groove to getting the SS off the wave. Only been out once since I moved, so just wishin' I was surfin'.

if the vernor quad is the competitor that you have, that is not a vernor shape at all. that is a direct copy of chase hazons pro board. so it really is a shredstixx board, even if it has the vernor logo on it and no shredstixx logo.

It was made and shaped by Vernor, but it's still a good board. Didn't mean to step on any toes.
