Blankforce boards

gid review laud!

Hi all, been thinking of upgrading my old Skywalker pro 127x37 which I love, to a more modern board as I feel that at 90kg I could do with something a bit bigger, and I dont really seam to get much pop from the board.

I like to ride powered up and boost but am too old for unhooked tecky stuff, so wondered which board would be best between the "Ballistic" and the " Advisory Carbon" for more freeride type riding in generally onshore chop.

The other thing I wanted to ask is how well do these boards ride chop being carbon, do your knee's suffer after a session?

Cheers ,

Si.

I cant speak fo the advisory but i have to say the ballistic is exceptional in chop, i was concerned myself before riding it but i think it is such a nice comfortable board to ride, i love mine. No pimping here here, i just like what i like!

I've used both the Advisory Carbon and the Ballistic a lot...well pretty much every session as I also share the demo's with my my GF!

 

The Advisory is the out and out freestyle board with quite a bit more stiffness to it. You'll feel the heavier landings on this board slightly more than on the Ballistic.

 

Recently I twisted my ankle pretty badly and was suffering on the Advisory although I genuinely didnt notice it much on the Ballistic which rides a little smoother in the chop.

They are both awesome boards and do cross over quite a lot.

 

So my advice for you would be the Ballistic but it's a tough call as both epic.

Cheers, pretty much what I thought, just need 2 sort out a demo down here in somerset, and sort out some wind!

 

Thanks again,

Si.
