They are an ok board - well constructed and perform pretty well in all conditions HOWEVER you are way too light to really get all the fun out of it that you are seeking. Even in tiny waves a 9ft (ish) longboard will have all the paddle and wave-catching ability you will ever need. If you want a super tough, fun and versatile board then look at a 9.2 NSP or if you look around you will pick up a nice second hand pu board for around $500 - $600 (a reputable brand)
Yes - I know I rave on about the nsp mals but for everyday knocking about I would take a new nsp over a walden magic any day of the week - and not just because its $500 cheaper either (although thats a pretty good rason alone)

No, thats where towballs come from

Oh well that would explain a few things then

I'd check out Clearwater/Steve Del Rosso and Scarbourgh (sp?) Longboard. Steve's a bit of a cult hero from Perth and makes some good boards. Or try Pco who's a forum member.

Waldens last really well and thequality is pretty good, my girlfriend has the Wahine model. They unfortunetly don't come in a masive range of lenghs and widths.

Cheers. Thanks for the advice folks.

Looks like your getting a bit of a hard time there BB, although to be fair I do have an unexplicable dislike of NSP boards, unjustified really because I have never ridden one.

Someone told me to check out the second hand stock at Oceanstyle Longboards in North Freo as well.

No worries mate - do yourself a favour though and at least try one. I've organised to borrow one for a comp' next month and I am gunna clean up on it
