Getting a boat with a better surfwave.... Currently in a supra 21v and using a Ronix Koal 5'4. Its huge and easy to surf but i want something i can start trying to really progress on. Something alittle more poppy. I am 6'1 195. suggestions welcome!! New boat will be a 2012 VLX
SoulCraft,The Walker Project,Brigade Wakesurf,Idol,Airbaze,Evercarve,Mendonesia and Shred Stixx are all great companies and all have great products.Check them all out since they all have something unique to offer.
X2 for demo! All boards have pro's and cons. And all take a little getting used to. Most of the boards mentioned are a lot more fragile then your current board so you will need to treat it carefully.
and at Squid's Wake we have all the boards to put a smile on your face...just off the lake and not offering demos tell early April 2013....after I have some more demo stock I'll start shipping them out to people but we can only forecast that service next winter..so for now we play in the bath tub.....lol
I guess one of my issues is that I have never ridden a skim style board. Not sure where I could demo out here in Michigan. I feel like skim would be slightly more but then again. Basically all ive done is some carving on the Giant Koal i have
A nice intermediate board with a price range between a mass produced and custom boards are the triple x boards. Made pretty well and fun. The Nitro and slayer are fun. It won't be to long before you will progress to something a little more serious. I have had a walker project f18. I really enjoy it the next walker board I would progress to would be the signature or bomb pop. I like the sig, but lots of folks enjoy the bomb pop. I have recently ridden a couple of soulcrafts and really enjoyed them too. The Jetty and the sex panther. These two have been my favorites. I see one of these in my near future. plus i like to support small makers that i have had the good fortune of meeting. I did ride an inland surfer swallow and mucus. The swallow was a bit hard for me to move around. The mucus was fun and quick. I enjoy the flyboy as well.
Sorry lots of rambling, hope a few different names give ya something to think about.
