    Hello Swellinfo,
    20 yr old from NJ, and longtime lurker
    have put some chang chang aside for a new stick to shred this winter and vanish into the tropics with for a few weeks
    many factors (airlines sucking arse with boards/shallow sandbar barrel love) have peaked my interest into coil boards
    swaylocks is full of groveler talk and fins that no ones ever heard of
    looking to replace my standard that has more q-cell than original board to it
    any insight on actual shortboards from coil, more specifically the blur model?
    I've long lived the used board life and have difficulty justifying 700 or so for a custom poly board which I generally manage to destroy pretty well when I can order a coil for around the same
    Any firsthand experience would be (wet)suite
    Thanks,
    Don Johnsonsonson

    Check jersey shore Craigslist for an M80 in excellent condition for 350, i know as it used to be mine. Guy only rode it a couple times but now he's upsizing all his boards. Very tempted to buy it back, but got a new M80. The M80 (& the Flashback Fish) is the swiss army knife of Coils. Blur is pretty much HPSB.

    construction is super tough, buoyancy and flex similar to other epoxy boards imo

    that board is way too good looking love the diamond tail
    I can't believe that boards already been passed through two owners it looks new
    guessing your coil experience has been good to say the least!

    if it feels anything like a general epoxy with extra tough construction and super light weight then it fits the bill

    the new kick (especially with color) has me drooling, gonna have to pull the trigger I think
