Skim style board recommendation?

[skiWA]

I actually just picked up a Hi-Fi as well last week. It was a 2017 blem model off of evo.com

I started on the Ronix Marsh-Mellow surfboard last year and the skim style board feels completely different. It has a much looser feel and you have to use your rails a lot more. The surfboards are more forgiving and you can ride flatter on them. It took a few times to get the hang of skim style but I like it better. That's just my personal preferences though. See if you can borrow anyone's board before you make a decision or talk to a shop about letting you borrow one. Good luck

Thanks, how does it compare to the Matrix?

You won't like the hammerhead coming from a matrix. If your looking at the matrix then buy that. I love that board, darn crew is always riding it. The hammerhead is just a little slower, not as responsive, rides revert really well. Its a good board, just the matrix is next level up.

I have both hammerhead and matrix..

Oops didnt read the first post fully, the hammerhead will be perfect for a new rider.

I've had a few people suggest the HiFi as well. Big change? As in better or just a different ride compared to surf style?

Loose compared to surf style. Spins like crazy.
Good advise that was given to me: ride it 2-3 times before judging.

If you're looking for a skim that's a good value, take a look at the Lakewakes Flying Saucer. We have one that's made for my buddy who is your size.

Tell Mark at Lakewakes I referred you.

Thanks Trayson. I went to the lakewakes website and it looks like they aren't making any boards right now and they didn't have hardly anything for sale on their site.

Just purchased a 2018 Hyperlite Hi-Fi this past spring. So far so go.

Been riding surf style over the years, big change when ride that.

Any recommendations on a surf style board? I have a P5 hammerhead and like it (now that I am used to it). Looking to pic up a surf style board also. I am 5’-11” and 175lbs.
