Help me decide on a board.

[c.rix]

I have a phase 5 I like alot ?

I've ridden the Ronix Koal, the longer one. It's a nice board
but too big for me(165 lbs) It can be spun. It does get heel dents easily.

The IS Blue is very nice and buoyant. Very fast. I would think
you need a pretty big wave to get much air with it.

The IS Sweet is great, also extremely fast. Lighter and smaller
than the IS Blue, should get air easier but I still can't do it, not
sure if wave is big enough. Thought about selling it ( I think you
May have inquired about it but not sure if I'm going to part with
it now). Our boat is not in the water yet but if you feel like driving to Michigan some time this summer you are more than welcome to try it.

Whe I get home, I'll try to get a demo of the TripleX and try it out. If I like it, I'm going to buy a surf style. I'll keep you posted. You really can't beat the price of the TripleX boards.

YEs , for a disposable board, you always get what you pay for in quality.

Bad experience or heard of one? Details?

Yes, please enlighten.

I do agree to a certain extent. It depends on what you use it for. I have an IS Black Skim Pearl about $600. Also, a Phase Five about $540. Both excellent quality boards, but both have gotten dinged up. I also have a CWB Ride, inferior in quality, but takes bumps a little better and I can ride it with me and my little girl on it. So, just depends. Boards are made to be used and probably will get scuffs and dings over time, but each has a purpose on how you ride.

would be interested in that as well. I had one of their pro riders out last summer. he brought 6 or 7 boards with him. several of the skim boards were every bit as strong as my is or phase 5. now the surf style made out of foam were a treat to ride, but there is def. an extra level of care associated with these boards. not the strong construction you will find in 'glas boards like the is or broadcast.

hoping to buy one in pink, but pricing is a big deterrent right now

[you da man]

Didn't see that one before, thanks for pointing it out. Good deal, but I feel like it may not be as advanced as I'm looking for. I think I might want more out of it as I get better.

The Mucus is going to be a very fast board. It's basically a copy of a Flyboy which is a sick and advanced board with air in mind

I just got a new 2011 Slingshot Arcane surfbord. if you watch the video's it looks to be a sweet ride. My lake is still solid ice but we hope to be riding with dry suits in 2-3 weeks.

I have a triple x slasher and really like it. They are more like a true surf board so a little fragile but for the price they are hard to beat. Their skim style boards are more durable. A composite board will be much more durable but wont float as high. You need one of each to really do it all. I wanted a walker comp x to do it all but you can't really find them anymore (or can you)?
