Board for travelling

Postby Daveo2k4 » Sat Apr 16, 2005 2:59 pm

Hiya, I travel quite alot and was wondering what a good board to take with me would be, I'm of average ability I would say (although working on getting better) and am 5'11, and around 70KG's. Wondered if anyone had any advice on a good all-rounder that I could take travelling with me.

Cheers :D

Depends on where your traveling dude, if you got a awesome break at home then your probally going to go somewhere even better or else there's really no point to traveling... but anyway you deffanatley want a fin system, which one depends on where your going. If your gunna go to big hollow tropical places by plane, you probally want a mini gun but have to have a good board bag or case to for your stick. Um... Think of where your gunna surf the most then get a board that your gunna use most for the conditions (ex. don't get a minigun traveler because it was advertised well if your gunna be flying or whatever to longboard spots).

Most important thing, GOOD BOARDBAG!
