After nearly 2 years of debating, chatting to guys, and trying as many boards as I could, I finally got myself a Lahui Kai Jamie Mitchell 14.
This was actually the board which Surftech shipped over for Jamie Mitchell to race in the Doctor, but due to flight issues he did not make it, so I am told. So I was able to snap the board up .
Just wanted to give a big thanks to all those guys who helped by providing their advice and answers to my questions - the Hobie Guys, Scott at Greenline, Surfanimals, and of course the lads down at Longboards Scarborough.
