s-core, surftech or fiberglass shortboard?

Postby hyber » Mon Sep 18, 2006 3:32 pm

hi, im 6'2 and am now confident on my 6'4 circle one funboard ( can bottom turn, cutback ),
i was thinking between 6'3 and 6'4 but i dont know what brand to get,

the s-core seems like the best option but i havent really been able to find any actual opinions or reviews and it sounds almost too good.. as in it will just be too lose and fast for me.

A surftech seems good but apperently their not so good in choppy surf.

Fiberglass is another option but i want just one board for conditions up to 6foot and i go away alot, so i wouldnt want it breaking on the plane!

( i would probably be buying used boards, maybe new for fiberglass as its cheaper )

thanks alot!

Go to your local surf shop and have a talk with the local shapers or the local pro. They'll show you a range of boards they have, probably.

surftechs slap in the chop.

s-core's are no stronger than a PU board, just lighter.

i would go with a PU board, save the cash.
