Zephyrus Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Looking for information as to what board would help me in my progression,and compliment the one I have been learning with. Been learning for 2 years now, I will never be a superstar,happy keeping upwind,learning toeside, and changes in direction effective but not pretty. I think I will always want to try new tricks as I learn, and get better. My present board is a NAISH HAZE 141 X 41. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broraboyan Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 It's got to be a shinn monk forever, I have contemplated buy one but the shape is very very similar to f-one-trax 4 I have, I'd love to try one just to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wind-seeker Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 whats the problem with the naish?? if its just the size, go for the same board but smaller. my first board was a nobile 666 had a north x ride hadlow and a su-2 but went back to a 666. it does everything i want it to. what do you think of a skimboard for another type of learning?

Thats a good question, basically because I am new to the sport I wouldnt know a good board from a not so good, or even from a crap one. I posted this to sponge information from people with more experience. Im afraid I am guided more by the looks of a board, the Shinn Monk looks great and from what i can gather is a good board . Just trying to maximise my bang for the buck on my next board. However in answer to the question, as its my first board, and the one i have got going on, i love the naish.
