Surfing Waves

ive been looking at bonzers for a long time now and have decided to get me one this summer but i cant decide weather to try and get a cambel brothers 9'2 longboard which looks lush or go for some thing smaller around 7' i just want a board thats going to go fast down the line and watching surf moves of guys riding them they do look pretty fun. wondering if anyone has experance with them?

i thought the 7' would be ideal as a drop down from a longboard and ideal travel board, if its got enough volume it should be good for most conditions and i shouldnt find it to hard adjusting

excuse the ignorance....but what is a bonzer?

Bonzers come in various shapes and sizes ranging from shortboards all the way upto longboards. They are characterised by there fin set-ups and also usually deep channels in the bottom of the board leading into the fins.
3, 5 and 7 fins with the side fins bases longer than their depth and raked out to large angles.



I think the 7 would be more fun and better for travelling with phil but of no use a t saunton. Only a guess though.

heard their the board of choice now-a-days in waimea

Those are some freaking crazy contours. Digging it.

I've never seen anything like that (in any surf shop on east coast U.S). I this just a passing fad like a fish or is this a revolutionary design change in boards for the future?

I think the 7ft woould be 2-3ft too short for Phil

Nope bonzers have been around for ages. Started off by the campbell brothers i think! See here.
