anyone? saw one in person today, it looks a little wide to be a good jumping board, but looks good fun never the less. Not sure on how strong the construction is and how much abuse it would take riding with straps?

i want a board that can handle 20ft kiteloops is good to ride in 6ft + swell has ample power to smash the top lip and is non slip so my bowl of wheatbix wont slid off when being used as a breakfast bar on no wind days disclamer-can't do 20ft kiteloops yet

mate i'm f%$#en serious iv'e wreck $1800 worth of boards already so if you can find a board that can live up to mine and i'm sure other peoples expectaions please let us know i like rideing waves love boosting not keen on twin tips and don't always take the piss oh and enjoy long walks on the beach in short i want the same as you

I too am in the market for such a board.
can anyone suggest the best? funnest to ride?



north freestyle fish
undergound freewave
mako king

bennie underground freewave is sposed to be very strong and takes big jumps
google the freewave
expensive but

Hi Peeps,

Although the FSF is not break proof, it is made for aerial transitions and trick freestyle in the surf which would imply it is made strong enough to handle general wave/surf abuse.

I certainly wouldn't try kiteloops on one or landing a megaboost hard and flat, but I would imagine jumping over waves on the way out the back wouldn't be an issue so long as you respect the board and keep in mind it is not indestructible.

They are a fun little board for junk surf when conditions are less than ideal for a surfboard.

The 09 Choptop I would imagine is unbreakable, it is without a doubt the heaviest board ever made. If it doesn't surf the way you want, you could always use it for a car ramp!

Cheers,

KH

thanks kitehard thats the info I was after.

Radman those boards sound nice, but I'm starting to think a mutant with twintip type construction maybe more suitable for what I need

Underground freewave surfs onshore chop well and you wont find a stronger surfboard.
Not so great in bigger waves though.

dont know about the 09 being the "heaviest board ever made" but it is strong tho. i know the 2010 choptop is a sick board!! much lighter than 09 and none have broken in OZ so far. i have used it with a kite and towing in with a jet ski the 5'8" is the bomb!!
