Hi Guys,

I have always ridden a Twin Tip, 4 years on straps & 8 years with boots. I started learning on a strapped surfboard and have ridden one strapless from time to time however never really got into it. I just got an unexpected tax return so i am going to splash out and buy a fun board. (for reference my current board is a tona pop)

I am looking for something that ticks the following boxes.

- Tough construction
- ideal for small to middle sizes waves.
- Can be ridden with Straps
- Can jump and handle a few transitions
- Loose feel

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Sorry guys, poorly finished email.

I am very happy with the Pop, looking for a surf style board that ticks the boxes above. e.g Naish Skater.

hi Kookaburrahz,

I know what I want in a performance board, I am just looking for something new to do some different riding on. Like 540 transitions, boosting off waves, toe side rolls etc.

Unfortunately the length you have ridden doesn't necessary equate to knowledge or skills lol. I have ridden off and on over this time never anywhere near autograph level. Haven't had the pleasure to work in either location just London, Brisbane and the gold coast.

Cheers

North nugget tt, which stands for tough technology . Give in the loop kiteboarding a call. He gave me a great deal on mine. My best purchase ever.

Mako (ocean rodeo) Fits the description - can be ridden as hybrid/tt or strapless

Nigel from East coast kiting has ocean rodeo mako to demo as well as shinn monk

You may like this, cross between a wake skate and a wake surf. Build like a brick and is super fun in small waves and flats. I don't ride it anymore and it's just dillinger in the shed. You can have it for $150

kemp,

that looks like a shed load of fun...

what is it?

Hey mate it's a liquid force wake surf. Really fun it's got thrusters but small so you can still flick it around

All these Tomo rip-off shapes are completely terrible from what I've seen. You would be much better off just going down to your local shaper and getting him to glass up a short wide fish for you.
