Jack M Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hands down the best bang for the buck on the market for a short board that I've found is a leftover F2 World Cup 163. So good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look at the Coiler website and it seems true that they really don't seem to cater well for short boards. Other suppliers have this well covered though - Kessler for example.

He'll talk you into a Contra anyway. Just pick a radius and length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me more about this chode of a board you have planned. I may want/need something similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you've done some pre-season quads muscle and cardio-respiratory conditioning first. Careful carving the Donek MK really hard. You'll come round so fast you'll kiss your own a**! I’ve had a bunch of SL sticks, 162-168 are the sweet spot for me at 275 lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
