I have a 5' Grindwater Ginsu. I'm wanting to try a different board (same style - a surfer not skim) but here in the Houston area there just aren't any places that rent demo boards. I figure for the same price as a demo I can ship my board to someone and they could do the same, if anyone is willing. I've seen posts on the Lakewakes, TWP, Triple X, etc brands and would love to demo and possibly buy one.
Does anyone have something like this or similar that you want to possibly sell? I'm 5'11" and 185. My wife has a Props (pro model) that we bought in Austin. It's just a bit smaller than my Ginsu, but it has a single fin. If it were an inch or so longer it would be perfect - I just have to work really hard when it's just the two of us in the boat. When we have a full boat and a killer wave it's a blast, but we go out just the two of us and the hound quite a bit and it's a pain with the external sacs. There's a link below for the PROPS boards to give an idea of the style I'm currently riding (Pro model), along with the Ginsu.

I'm sure trust would be a big factor in this effort, and I have no problems paypaling a deposit up front. I'm not in the business of ripping people off, but being a message board and the fact that I've only met one person here in person I can understand that trust is earned; it's not entitled.
Sorry for the long winded post, but I'm ready to step it up a notch surfing and I want to ride as many boards as I can to find the one I'm most comfortable with. Who knows, maybe the first one I ride will be the one! Anyone interested?
