What's the flex on Shotgun ? Isn't Lieuwe Shotgun a bit stiffer than Ronson ? I've talked to my buddy from EU. He tried Shotgun and Ronson. He really liked Shotgun he said It cuts the chop amazingly but found a it a bit less friendly for the knees.iriejohn wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:42 pmI've had 2 x Shinn Monk, 1 x Shinn Ronson, 3 x Lieuwe Shotgun.appelton wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:19 pmCan someone advise on a good chop eater that is gentle for knees?
Currently I am looking at :
- Shinn Monk Glitch ( The new one 2020 that has some gentle channels at the bottom )
- Shinn Ronson
- Flysurfer Radical 6
- Lieuwe Shotgun
Anyone tried Radical 6 and Ronson ?
I have a knee with a badly damaged ACL.
I'm 80kg and ride a Lieuwe Shotgun 136 x 40.5
I think this answers your question.
From memory (a few years ago) I recall that the Ronson had more rocker than the Shotgun and was also pretty stiff, but it may not be now. But the Shotgun has highly effective channelling which gives a lot of grip in chop so is easy to control.
Tried all the boards on the list plus Nomad, Carved Imperator. The board that impressed me the most is the Brunotti Fusion with Eleveight or Naish footpads. Its like butter through the chop.appelton wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:19 pmCan someone advise on a good chop eater that is gentle for knees?

You have some good options listed here. The shotgun is a great board but is a little stiff. Also, the Rad 6 is a bit stiffer than last years Rad 5. I owned a Monk and thought it was great and relatively comfortable but have not ridden the Glitch. So, here's what I would do if it where me.
