Ok I know everyone's probably sick of these threads but I need help picking a new surf style board. Here is my story, I'm 6' and 180 pounds and surf behind a slammed Wakesetter 23 LSV so wave size is no problem. I'm an experienced skim style surfer and ride a Phase 5 Diamond which is awesome. I'm ready to try a new experience and want to ride a surf style board. I know everyone's first response is going to be go demo boards. Well I live in Oklahoma and don't see how that's a possibility but I'm definitely open for suggestions as to where and how I can do that. Price really isn't an issue because I will ride this board forever and I want something that I can stay with. We'll put 450 hours on our boat this year almost all surfing so I'll get my money's worth I'm sure. I'm really looking for a surf style board, I'll rock the Diamond when I want to skim so I don't think I want a hybrid. So...what do you suggest and equally as important to me is why do you suggest it? I'm seriously looking so any and all input is greatly appreciated, when you spend this much $ on a new board you don't want it to be a dud and there's really no way to demo everything. Thanks again.
