Hi all,

How's it going?

Just looking out for my next board and I'm considering this one

http://tinyurl.com/35r3gh

Dimension wise it's exactly what I'm looking for, no longer than 8'6 for car and storage at home. Just wondering if anyone has any experienc on it?

Cheers 8)

What are you used to riding? I doubt it will make much difference, just curious.

Hi bluyan, cheers for that, I sort of expect it will be harder to paddle out on, normally wait for a bit of a lull or eskimo roll :D

Hey otter, my present board is a 7'6 flying carpet, like a scaled down longboard, same nose and tail just 2ft missing in the middle. Looking for something a bit more 'cruisy'.

If you are 200lb and below, I recommend 9'2 Walden magic model if you are bigger get the 9'6 or the 10'0. The magic models are fun responsive and forgiving boards, good for all levels of surfer.

Yeah, at first it'll feel like your driving a Cadillac, but when you get used to it, you'll think it's a Porsche.
