Surfing Waves

I want to purchase a new board and I'm stuck between two of them and just want to know which one would you guys choose or which one would you prefer?

DHD Monster- http://us.dhdsurf.com/surfboards/monster

JS Industries BB2- http://us.jsindustries.com/US/blak-box-2-round-tail

I am curious how asking this would help you!
What is your height weight and experience?
What are you currently riding?
Where do you surf and why do YOU think theses shapes would suit your surfing?
If you are a good short board surfer then yep one or the other , new or just beyond beginner NUP for either.

"A lot of the team really like this model as an aerial option in small waves"
That sold me on the DHD Monster. I couldn't see the selling price on the JS in my region. Is it more than $680 ?

When Jaffa gets air they send out tsunami warnins

I'm 5'11 185 lbs
I would probably place my experience around intermediate
I currently ride a CI #4
Live in California
I just started to look at DHD and JS because I recently got a buckle on my #4. I don't feel like repairing it because I have the money right now to buy a new one.

That's a hard call, these boards look very close in usage/performance. I think if you want to go shorter the BB2 is the one.

One is epoxy and one EPS, so big differences.

I prefer the JS, just seems I have only heard good things about them, never heard either way about DHD

Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore and current WSL CT leader Matt Wilkinson seem to trust Darren Handley Designs.

ZRami - But both JS and DHD are Australian based companies. Why not support your local California shapers, which you have in the past ?

I don't know, I just want to try out other boards from other companies.

Don't try ! Do !!
see if there are any shops where they have a demo board.
