Surf-Style Board Recommendations

Ok, what are you guys riding this year? I've got a '16 Ronix Koal Thruster. It is so far and away better than the old Hyperlite Broadcast we had, but I'm looking to take another step up this year. Any recommendations on both brand and size? I am 6' and 185lbs and want a surf style board preferably with a blunt nose that I could ride revert. Thanks.

Phase 5, Soulcraft, Victoria, Doomswell?

X2 on Soulcraft Voodoo. Bought it toward end of last year and love it

The board I was on for most of last year was a Soulcraft JS Pro (Jordie), its 4' 8" and an awesome board, but was a little too long for me at 5' 10 and 170lbs....so I bought the 4' 6" Voodoo and length is perfect for me on that board.
I am gonna sell the SC Jordie if you are interested, perfect shape and looks like new. $600 picked up in NC. (will shamelessly post some pics below)

Doomswell Neo is another good revert board. That one was my first and was excellent to learn on and progress, similar shape to the Jordie just a bit heavier and thicker, which also made it a little more bouyant. Lots of great boards out there and having a great board can cut down on the learning curve, well worth the $ for a great board IMO.

I didn’t like the voodoo at all. If you’re gonna go soul craft check out the secret weapon.

The voodoo is OK the secret weapon is good— my overall favorite of that line is really the Honu. I think that board is the fastest one Jeff makes.

Secret weapon, a Keenan and a custom for me this year. I have at least one of every shape that soulcraft makes but those are my favorite right now. Speed and fins are directly related. I run the large chaos foil fins and the boards are rockets. The skim in the pic is what my wife rides.

These fins are the best I have found so far. Love them. https://chaossurfco.com/wakesurffins...-fin-flare-fin

I have not ridden a Soulcraft board that I did not like. They are all different in some ways and it really comes down to your riding style. Secret Weapon is an awesome board, excellent for airs and fast carving. At some point I want to order a full custom from them and get a really cool design done. Happy with what I have at the moment since the board is still better than I am, also saving my money since my next big spend will be adding GSA/tabs to my 2014 SV244, would be nice to not mess with suckgate anymore tho I certainly cannot complain about the wave.

Love the Centurion branded boards you posted above H20king and the colors of you new FI25 are sweet! I walked thru an FI25 at boat show recently and looking forward to riding behind it this Spring, love everything about the design of the FI, if I wanted to upgrade, the FI25 would be my choice for sure.

Those are just 100k centurion stickers LOL I order with decals shipped loose then just use them on my boards

Nick’s flare fins are nice! Depending on your desired feel, Futures Machado and Solus have also proven themselves worthy. I have a couple pairs of all of the above. Fins are very fun to play with.
