Need advice regarding surfboard
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 1:33 pm
Hi,
I'll start using a surfboard as a complement to twintip and would need some advice regarding size and thruster vs quad.
I can get a good deal from Crazyfly but aren't sure if I'm on the right track for my choice of board.
My weight is about 154lb and I'm riding in winds from 10kn to 40kn. Waves about 0,5m - 2m maybe more. Have been kitesurfing since 2005 but have moved to a spot were we have good waves
CF have three different models where two have quad fins and one with thruster setup.
Taurin 5'8'' x 19'' Quad fish tail
takii 6'0'' x 19,5'' Quad fish tail
Thunder 6'2'' x 19'' Thruster round tail
I can also say that my intention is also to use the board as a surfboard without kite if it's possible to do such combination. No need for perfect use when wave surfing.
I'll only in for strapless surfing.
My first choice is to go for the Thunder but I don't know if waves in size below 1m is to small for that board to be nice to ride in because we don't always have big waves here.
Hope someone that have used the CF boards can give some input from anyone are appreciated.
