BEST Boards... What's the closest substitute????

Postby Ibetuwill » Thu Aug 19, 2004 2:58 am

Well I'll have to admit, I have ridden the BEST Boards & love them.
Too bad you can't get them.

Anybody have any recommendations on an alternate board closest to the BEST 130?

I have been looking at the Naish Thorn 135 and the North Dragon 135. Both are light weight, shaped similar to a wakeboard, and have good flex.

Any suggestions?

errr sorry to follow the others but Hanacrew 120 x 40 Nemesis as a great alrounder for a 80 kg or less proficient kiter. Or if you want waves go for the Genesis II 135 x 37, check out the sites for more info or drop me a line.

why not leave it as a good board and end it at that. Lets say this guy rides at a spot where its flat on the inside, and there is a reef on the outside. Does this mean that HanaCrew is not the best choice, cause according to phil, one board for flat water and the other is for waves. I ride one board in flat and waves. Liquid force does that a lot. Recommend one board for waves and one for flat water. That is the most confusing shit to say to a kiter.

Ibetuwill, We will have the bestboards in by the end of this month (fianally :lol: ). Unfortunatly our vender could not keep up with the high demand at the beggining( we came in late for thier ordering season). With that good news I would like to also announce the arrival of 6 new boards to the line up. A 121, 124, 131, lw 133, lw 136 and two begginer boards set for a release date starting in september 04.
Thanks
Shannon Best
