Experience with CWB Ride?

I'm looking for another surfboard (currently ride a LF Skimskate) and saw the CWB Ride. How is this board compared to the Skimskate? And what are your opinions about this board.

Thanks

I think it rides like a Broadcast. Maybe a little tighter, but about the same. it did have a better rocker and didn't sink the nose like the broadcast.

Actually it is more like the Landlock. I have the ride and my friend has the broadcast, the ride floats a little better and handles decently but the broadcast is a faster board that is easier the slash with. Overall, the ride is good for just riding with moderate slashing and beginners.

The CWB Tsunami is 6 inches shorter and 3/4" wider than the Ride. It is the high performance board from CWB. If that is what you are looking for check it out.

Thanks for the advice!
I think I'll buy a new surfboard this winter instead of now. So I can gather some more opinions. I really like the Skimskate, but due the lack of surf experience it was hard to get familiar with it.
