Buying a CI Board

Postby dizzeeP » Sun Aug 07, 2011 3:18 am

Hey whatsup - I am looking at the "Flyer" model and the "Fred Rubble" model. For anyone that's owned either one, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I need a hand picking one between them. Shoootz.

I have had a the Flyer and it is a great small to med sized wave board. It is super high performance with a full tail to get it planning on top of the water quickly and flying down the line. This board is a classic and will not let you down, if you are a Intermediate to advanced surfer. If you are a beginner surfer you may want something a little thicker and wider, and floatier.

Good Luck!

i was looking at the flyer as well, to change down from a funboard..
asking and checking around - a lot of folks actually suggested "The One" or "The Pulse" from Webber Surfboards instead of a CI Flyer..
maybe want to have a look into that..
- ill get me a 6.4 "The One".. :)

Hi Travelzomg, have you tried Bremgarten as your local break :?: Since it's fresh water you might need a little more volume :!:
The One will be the One :D

hey jaffa!

nope, havent gotten around it yet..
the crook is, its only up for a few weeks a year in spring, when the snow melts up in the mountains.. so usually, its quite gnarly and cold - 4/3+ -Material..
and this year we had a very dry spring so it wasnt realy up at all.. but i realy prefer the ocean.. :)

ill go with the one, since it does have increased withd and thickness - and the biggest of the models works well as allrounder.. but dunno if its enough for riversurfing.. that usually needs something fish-like...
