I was online and I saw lt surfboards online and was about to pick up a mini mail and maybe another fish. How is the quality of the boards? They come from LA. Are cut outs or hand shaped? Has anyone ridden one? How do they perform?
that looks like a pop out any board brand new 295 is pretty much made in china. and considering they are only sold on ebay i will definitely say it is a pop out. all boards float, all boards ride, but seriously i really think you need to figure out what you want slow down and dont be so impulsive, as i can recal you now went from shaping, to beater, to stewart, to shaping, to a gun, now to LT. all different shapes and designs. So lets settle this, What do you want to do with your surfing, how do you want your next board to progress your surfing, what do you want this board to accomplish, what are your dimensions. lets start there.
I want to learn how to do like cutbacks, airs and progress with better technique in turning and making the drop on bigger days. I want this board to easily catch small waves and still handle head high to head and a half and let me learn the maneuvers I stated above. I am 5' 11" 135 pounds, 13 years old and goofy footed.
ok so you want a grovling shortboard... basically. and as i have said before talk to a local shaper, but at your weight and height something around 5'5-6'0" x 19"-20" x 2 1/8-1/4". Let's put it this way.... a good old saying by one of the greats in the business. Quality doesn't come cheap or quickly. If you want it Quick it wont be cheap, and if you want it Cheap it wont be quick. If your paying $200.00 for a pop out i can assure you it will most likely not help you in progressive surfing. Their are plenty of boards out there new and used for less than $600
I'd look into a rocket fish for what you want to do with your surfing.......If you let us know where you are located someone on here will know a shaper close to you. Have a little faith.
man, do a little research, find a local shaper. stop being lazy, you wont get too far in life that way kid.
A good board for you is Hague surfboards local shaper in delaware love his boards have 2 of his boards and can handle size im not into airs or anything like that yet but turns great and good with cutbacks fun boards!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for a new board have alot that I dont want.
if you live anywhere near the ocean (which im assuming you do since you are looking for a board) their is a local shaper near you....
I just bought a board off line its my first quad, I love it. check it out its called" equinox". I paid like $350 for it. they also have fish shapes and fun shapes all for a decent price. if nothing else try Craigslist buy some cheap boards and figure out what you like and what works for you. don't go buy a specific board because you saw some Guy blowing out the lip more than likely that's skill and years of surfing.
