The Gambler has 5 fin boxes for Thruster and Quad setups....sounds to me like you should ride both boards before you compare them.

@ Chooch can you give a comparaison betweern Passport and a skimboard? Thanks. To be honest I dont think any surfboard can compete with a skimboard in lightwind. Surfboard fins create a lot of drag slowing the board down. But you loose the stability in the surf with a skimboard so its a give and ta...

Thanks Cooch, Have you tried it already? (Sounds a little bit like general marketing information :-) The width seems pretty maxed out - how does it work in mid sized surf? Weightwise - in comparison to the other WH boards heavier ... Is the 5.10 the "light wind tanker"? Anybody ridden one of them? ...

Here are the specs on the Gambler 5'7" x 19 1/2" x 2 1/4" 7.60 lbs 5'10" x 20" x 2 1/2" 8.04 lbs The Gambler takes some characteristics from the Passport and Magnum to make it a great all purpose board. It's wide enough to be forgiving for strapless riding but the outline and tail shape keeps the bo...

So for a bit of backgroud, I had the 2010 5'9" Wainman Surf last year. I rode in a lot of different conditions (all strapless) that include 10'+ Swell, River Swell, Chop, and Flat water. I found the board to be best in the ocean swell, it was a little bit to narrow for strapless freestyle and chest ...

Cheers for that folks ! Couple of other things while I'm at it !What wind strength does it start at (90kg on a surfboard ) and any recomendations on all these different connection points , looks a bit confusing ! Depending on the size and volume of your surfboard I would say that the 6.5 should get...
