POLL: Overhead waves; Your brd specs

Cino

A buddy of mine loaned me his Cino 6'2'' squash tail on a recent trip to Hawaii. This thing was teeny tiny, decent amount of rocker but not too much, very thin. We were riding mostly OH-DOH waves, shaped very similar to what we see on a gnarly day back home. I'd normally use something with a lot more foam, but this board was pure f'n magic! I never got the dimensions, but I'd recommend checking these guys out if you make it out that way. I'm not sure of the cost to have them shape and ship a board to OC MD, but it would be well worth it if possible.

Ha! Absolutely, brother. I can get it under, but not very far. More like a walk back up the beach and jump in the rip type situation for me. If I take a set on the head with that big boy, I'm going backwards.

 

i am 5'11" about 155lbs and i use a 5'10" localmotion for anything under OH then when it gets a little bigger i use a 6'8" kaos, i like the extra paddle power the 6'8" gives me compared to the 5'10" im hoping to get something around 6'2" this summer for an in between board.

 

I also ride a 6'2 squash in OH+ waves.
