surftech longboards

[bluesnowcone]

i was talking to this aussi in a surf shop and i asked about surftech longboards and he said that they were to light for waves over 6ft or windy conditions. is this true?

probally

with that much area you need weight to help you get down the face


but

some guys can still do it

i have a surf tech tolhurst 9 footer and when the wind is ripping up the wave face, it can throw you off.
they're pretty corky and light. its good to have some weight on a longboard i think

i have a surftech 7'10" water hog, which is barely a longboard -- i guess more of a mini - mal...anyway for my level, it's FANTASTIC...love it love it love it!

I have a surftech 8'0 and I love it. Really light and responsive but still has that longboard feel and nose rides well.
