I have ridden the North Wam b2b with a BWS Mulcoy Pro.

I didn't really like the Wam, it felt too corky and too much volume for my 75kg. It was fun in the smaller waves but when I was dropping and bottom turning on bigger ones, the board felt a bit skatey and skittish underfoot. I put this down to the "plasticy" construction of the board.

BWS though I have had for around 6 months and its been really good. Again, this board (5'10) has a little too much volume in the tail for my liking, but regardless the board is light and fast. It has proved to be pretty durable so far, nothing but a nice heel hold.

Also having the ability to ride it thruster or quad also keeps things fun by mixing it up a bit. The best thing about this board is.... well it feels like a surfboard. It doesn't bounce and isn't super floaty like heaps of other production boards.

Ohhh and being fluoro, the chicks and other little groms think you look pretty pro.

If you near Northern Beaches you can try my F-One 6.2 Bamboo. It's very good to ride strapless, straps positions are too far back and it looks like I'm using less than a half of the board.

Can't comment on surfing, my surfing skills are on a beginner level.

Warner. Custom...

Ask for a one for a fat bloke. But say it's a present.

All you need to do now surfingboye is hop on a Waroo and you will be ripping!

A match made in heaven for your 75kgs frame!

guys

thanks for the demo offers, to confirm im 40, i joined 8 years ago and can't be bothered updating my profile, i think that is getting on a bit, i live next to the beach in manly so yes i do get out a bit in the surf and yes i know the water pretty well, if i wanted a life coach id ask for one but i think i know where i sit in life, especially as ive been kiting for 10 years.

ho hum, lets get back the subject shall we, this site is full of topics that drift off subjects into pointing at individuals , we dont need life advice we need facts and experience. and yes demo is the way to go . looking at the facts kitepower is next to flat water, great shop to demo gear bought allot from you over the years steve but we really need more demobrands on the northern beaches in syd where the waves are (if you can call them that).

balmoral borads (Andres) stocks gear but is limited with the size of shop at nara, so unless the guys on he beach let you try their gear buying a kite surfboard is not so easy, thats why i also rely on the guys from SA and WA. their reviews are professional and they have the conditions to test every day.

thanks for the help guys, watch this space ive just ordered a board from "in the loop", amazing service after getting my fisrt board trashed in transit. you have to admire a shop that follows through with their service no matter what.

still interested in this topic if there is anything more to add , in the mean time anyone ridden this -

Im getting one in the next few weeks.

Just grab whatever and go round to Wanda....

Hi I think you are on the right track. Light with the right construction. I have tyred a number of boards they are all good but can be compromised by there weight AND are to rigid I am 52 years old .76kg and kite straped 5'x 18" ,1.7KG board up to 4' waves and 5' 8" ,2kg for bigger waves .I like a board that will make me improve Try to test as much as possible its worth it. Merimbula Classic is great way to see and test boards in Nov

looked up your board looks sick .What is the board weight ??

Haven't got it yet but I'll tell you the weight when it comes in
