Board Demo

I’m new to the sport this year, but already love it. So far my experience has only been on demo boards from local pro shops. I’m ready to buy now, but I’m not sure yet what I want to throw my hard earned cash down on. The only boards I can find locally, Dallas area, are the big name manufacturers (HL, CWB, and LF). I keep reading rave reviews about these smaller companies such as Inland Surfer, Phase 5, Walker Project and so on. In contrast, the big three previously mentioned do not seem to be up to par.

My question is for those among you who have taken the smaller company route. Are you riding these boards before hand, or simply taking blind advice from others. I have a hard time throwing this kind of coin down with out riding it first.

I really enjoyed the CWB Tsunami, but from what I’ve read this board is mediocre at best.

Were in Dallas, ping me and I'll get you on Phase5, The Walker Project, Walzer, Inland Surfer and more.

Come ride.

COUNT ME IN!!! i tried to send you a private message, but it wouldn't let me??? with all those boards, you're either loaded, or a dealer... or both! im certain i would buy at least one of those if i could demo it first. but like brian, i dont want to drop that kind of money blindly.

Just contact me, not sure why I can't get PM's, but my email is in my profile. I'll shoot you a note.

Loc, I just sent you an e-mail.
