Looking to finally spend the cash and get a legit board. Been riding the burley buzz for a while and I think I got all I can out of it. Any thoughts on these boards?

I'd suggest the Matrix, but you won't be disappointed with any of those boards.

I have the Daniello Diamond. I don't ride any of my other boards anymore. But you better love skim. I have never taken to the surf style and do really love the skim feel. If that's you then you can't go wrong.

I haven't taken to the surf either. Skim is the way for me. Now I just have to convince the wife. Any difference between diamond ltd and diamond

I have the diamond and love it! I jump back and forth between my doomswell for surf and DD for skim. I also have a hyperlite hifi for skim and its not even close to the DD in terms of speed and quality.

Check on ebay. Crazy good deals start showing up on stuff after July 4.

I have a Danielo Hammerhead. It is a blast.

Is the fin setup on a skim board as important as it is on a surf board? Made a big difference on my Doomswell...any specific fins I should look at for a P5 skim board?

Trayson reported good luck with the John John Groms as well.

That's where I got them. The blue ones are the ones you want. There was a whole big discussion on fins on here but it was buried on like page 5 of a thread that didn't start out talking about fins... We should probably start separate thread to share more info. I think they made a pretty big difference in my Doomswell.

Bought with a new Amazon card and did 12 month no interest plan. I got 40$ off from signing up. I did have a 15% off coupon from buywake, but wanted long term plan

Holy cow. I always thought my boats wave lacked push, but with using the diamond it was effortless staying in the wave. Stoked for the rest of the summer

Can the mods please sticky this? Too many posts this summer about the waves being no good. Ya gotta have the right setup with the boat, the board and the rider.

I could fall so far back too and still had a great push. My back leg was getting sore putting on the breaks!!
