I don't think demos have realy gotten the nod over here. Maybe vidlers in cott. let your fingers do the walking and ring a few up. surf shops that is.

Ive got a 6-8 Flyer new 2 months ago, I'm 6-5 95kg, 25yeras surfing, best board in small to mid surf I've had. LOVE the volume. Every Flyer rider will tell you the same. Go a tiny bit shorter than normal board but much wider and the thing is unreal.

The best demo boards are the ones that ya mates own.
Free to ride and borrow with out the sales pitch

Longboards Scarborough usually have a few demo boards at any given time but it is hard if some one wants to try a particular board in a particular size. Take Al Merrick for example he might do 5 or 6 models and each may have 5 or 6 sizes, thats a lot of different boards.
Rather than the stock standards which most people may be able to borrow off there mates, we try to demo the more unusual and change them over reasonably often.
At the moment have some fish, some mals and have a crazy looking 8' Meyerhoffer to demo soon.
