time for a new board

[gazzer55]

Right now I have a landy DaThug with bears and gumballs. It's a wicked board but its long, stiff and heavy making it kinda hard to push and turn quickly. I want something thats shorter, maybe 35-39 inches, flexy and light. I know theres a ton of options out there which is making my choice so hard. Right now im looking at a bustin board, Rayne timeline or hustler, ladera respect roots (which i know nothing about) and maybe an insect board which I have never seen but hear good things. Basically I want something with concave and camber and something that I can pump easier than my DaThug and still carve some hills. Is that too much to ask for?? Any reco's on board and set up would be most appreciated!!

insect mosquito if you can stand the wait, sounds like the perfect match to what you're after, the hustler would also be a good choice.

Dervish, not too extreme hills, Fullbag speed carver, earthwing supercharger, hustler or the landyachtz drop carve.

mosquito sounds like a winner

I thought I was sold on the Hustler but after looking up the wheelbase of my Landy DaThug its 32 inches and the hustler is 30 inches. I dont know if this is a big enough difference because I want something thats smaller than my current board. SO now im considering the insect mosquito, either 36 or 38 or the landy drop hammer. What do you guys think of these boards compared to the hustler? Also if I go with an insect which deck (bamboo and what) should I go with the get the most pop for flex and pumping?

Bustin Cigar for the win! 38" inches, right down your alleyway. Great flex making it a good carver, even a good drifter. Ch-check it out.
