Sector 9 Ala Moana
Just used my Visa Card Points to purchase three x $200 disposable MaterCard Gift Vouchers.

And I decided to buy this (with less than 1.5 cards as mentioned above);
- my favourite sales girl asked how my son was, and asked if the board was for me or him... !!!??? It's for both of us !
Quicksilver have 10% off your first purchase, when you sign up to their loyalty program, which is free....

Verdict - if you are into finding hills, and going down hill, go for the set-up that Maui Byron has posted. But if you are after lighter, shorter, more user friendly on the flats, and general flat skating fun, surf carve fun, then I would probably choose this Sector 9 Ala Moana Bamboo Flex Deck. The longer bamboo decks are better again for walking, like a Malibu... cross step. This board is a great carver, rather than a nose rider... but you can nose ride it! You can carry this board in one hand by the Trucks (just) ... longer boards need to be carried like a surfboard.

Notice the Double King Pin through the trucks. It allows you to lay the deck right over, for tighter turns, whilst keeping the trucks flat on the ground....

General Assessment - mechanical movements required by the body are a cross between Skate, Snowboard, and Surfing. Great "rail to rail" type movement....
(The wife even likes it, and want a go. And she is considering getting into team OC paddling - she doesn't think she has the balance and skill for SUP)
