    With so Many Types of Bords and Riding Conditions , Is there A Place I Can Come to that Will Allow Me to Test Ride Various Boards I am Looking to Buy. I am Not a Professional So I Can Not Afford 15 Boards Which I Would Like However , I Do Not Want to Ride the Waves but Own Them , I Have Been Looking at the BlairaCUDA and Now Looking at the AK Hybrid Too.
    I am Using a Double Carbon Fiber 52in Zap . I Feel it's Too Big Or Too Used. I Now Understand I Need a Medium. I Also Started Training in the Gulf Coast ( Navarre Beach )
    And It's Very Hard to One Step Down Hill to a Wave that Breaks Fast and Small.
    Looking to Buy One maybe Two New Boards But Need Help . I Do Not Want to Spend a $1000 on a Setup and Not Be Satisfied.
    Any Solutions?

      @RmfDiz Před 3 lety

      Bruh....doesn't seem to exist based on what I've been researching, lol. Especially if its exile. I live in fl, so zap is popular, and I just got a 52" zap pro for just over 300. It was one of their cheapest for my height and weight. If you're lighter, shorter, pretty experienced, you can probably get something cheaper if you look, as the bigger you are the more.expensive they seem to be. Material also makes a difference.

    This pattern of the skimboard is offensive to many of Asian heritage and U.S. WWII veterans. It was used as a symbol of the Imperial Japanese Army during a time in which they committed terrible atrocities and war crimes. This flag often invokes the same feelings as seeing the Nazi flag.

      Go out with the Nazi flag which has same meaning with rising sun flag. You will be definitely attacked or may not be able to come back home. We need to be aware of the wrongs and respect the pain of the past.
