Last summer I borrowed a friend's Who Is JOB 9'0 Log and the damned thing worked so good I might break down and buy one this summer. I wanted to hate it but the board was just that good. Worked as good or better than most $1000+ longboards I've ridden.
I have a Stewart Redline 11 that is pretty fun. Also have an early vintage Jim Phillips from the 60s that I'll occasionally take out.
Can't beat a 8ft foamy in the summertime. Can't hurt it, and it can't hurt you. The Odysea boards are muuuuuch sturdier and stiffer than a Wavestorm. Def worth the extra $$$. I have one that's 4 years old, gray from all the layers of wax, and I'm on my second set of fins from riding shorebreak.
Got this in Hilton Head bout 5 years i wanna say. It's probably got a year left in it before it's completely used up. Sold a local Gary Wilson Hot Rod to the neighbor, then ponied up just a lil more for the Arrow. It's fantastic
really don't sell my boarts that much, so i plan to until the dings become too costly to fix. think i sold two, one was that Gary Wilson, "modern boart" they call it-whatevz, which i really hated and a bullet boart, useless on east coast, as a resell - got 3x what i paid for it. Otherwise i'm a firm believer in holding onto and sticking to my boart decisions
