Hello all,
Am looking for a traditional Pintail, a board I've alway wanted but never really got.
Trucks will be Originals S10s. Wheels PowerBalls.
Style, big carves.
Weight is 230.
Was gearing to get the Original Custon 45. It can handle the weight I've heard, just right but never tried it.
Would like it to be a board in that size range, not too much flex, just right at 230 lbs atop Original S10s.
Was wondering if anyone has a similar setup or advice for a Pintail that may be better than the Original made for the S10 trucks. The Original is just Maple I believe, I'm partial to various flex layers for a bit of spring. Having no problem getting the Original, they will be in production in a short time, just wondering if anyone has a recommendation that may be better to think about for a pintail.
Also like a wide footprint.
Thanks to everyone!
Or a good shaped used one someone wants to unload!

I've ridden S10s on a never summer eclipse. I've had that board rigged with 70mm lime zigs and landy 77mm hogs. The relatively short wheelbase and the grippy wheels makes for stickiest carve you can get with Originals.
The other fun thing to try with your S10s is to put them on something big and heavy, with drifty wheels. I've had them an eastbilt 60" with 81a strikers. The tail slides around a lot, but with a kind slow motion feel.

Hows the stiffness on the Eclipse? Think it can handle 230? Find the less flex with Originals the better. I have a Norad that is a noodle under me
Yeh, I've got several set of Originals, there's an Eastbuilt waiting to get painted in the corner. Dropped them on all sorts of decks, a Custom LBL Cruiser and a Dregs Supertank, great for them.
Realized I don't have a real pin in the 45 range, so want to try something there that can handle the weight and Originals.
The shape of the ProTeak from surf rodz looks about right, have to call them on length, light specs on the site.

Oh yeah - - You've posted pics of your boards - - nice stuff.
I find the eclipse pretty stiff - - but I'm 190 and used to flexy boards.

Thanks,
You know what deck I tried them on and thought had to be a winner, a Bustin Complex.
Cleared and all but find any wedgeing on the boards just doesn't work with them.
Just set up the Complex with those Sidewinders, loaded them with orange and red kiros.
Haven't tried it as I'm grooving my Chinook now, but it looks damn interesting to say the least. The slope of the Complex keeps it semi low. Really want to see if those sidewinders are all that. Someone dropped off a pair as a gift, so they layed around till I found a free board for them.
