Scouting round for a entry-level surfboard, called in to Woody’s Kite Surf today. Well worth the epic drive, these guys are soooo helpful and, for once, I didn’t get that nagging feeling I was getting spun up. New shop… get behind them, I reckon.

They got a 5’7” Best surfboard that I haven’t been able to track down any online info about. Now, I’m not for a moment doubting their word that it’s the board for me, I’d just like to triangulate with some second opinions. Its only distinguishing feature, apart from size and brand, is it’s blue, totally blue. Oh, and it's a thruster. Familiar to anyone? Anyone got or ridden one?

(maybe strictly speaking this should be in with the reviews, but hey, it's not a review, it's a request for one)
