Rayne Hustler vs Hellcat vs Loaded Dervish

**A_Darzi** · 05-31-2009 11:52 AM

I can't decide between these boards, any advice would help out.
I would like to know what each board is good at.
I am 5 ft. 10 in and way around 195-200.
i want a major good carving board and also a board that can handle 30 MPH or below.

I have riden a Dervish flex 1, thats hard to go against because it carves crazy good.

Ive also heard that the hellcat is easy to go down hills, although i dont plan on going down major hills, i do get scared of going down hills. But it can't carve to good and turn well either, because of its sacrifice for speed.

The hustler is a board i dont know anything about. All ive heard is its like a dervish, but i Absolutely hate the design of it.

ive been ridin for 2 months on a sector 9, and im becoming sick of it.

Im looking for the best deal and setup for the board that the community helps me out with

with a good truck/bushing combo a hellcat can carve and turn very well (why its so versatile) and it can bomb huge hills with no problem. by far my fav. board

the hustler is kinda like a combination of those two boards. and if you dont like the graohic, just tell rayne to put a different design on urs

I would go with a hellcat, its a very versatile board if set up right.

Will rayne really change the graphic for you?? I wanna buy a hustler but can't stand the insanely strange graphic.

Im sure if you have the money, they will do about anything.

i dont really know the name, but its shaped like a surf board and it has a beach design on the bottom.

is it better then the hustler on carving because i heard the hellcat is stiff on turning

just keep in mind i dont like bombing hills that much, so for the HELLCAT is it mild at carving.

what about the hustler ive heard its better then the hellcat on carving and fairly good on DH

hustlers concave is too flat for me.

**stephen.mhsrider** · 06-01-2009 03:33 AM

hustler has a springy flex and is good for carving but can still handle mild dh (up to 35mph for me). The camber on the hustler is towards the front of the board which means that it has alot moree energy reboundiness at the front. The camber on the derv is in the centre which means you do not use it as much when carving. Derv would be more suitable if you ride your board both ways because it is symmetrical. hustler is suited for single way riding as it is directional. hustler is wider and stiffer than the derv. hustler can also fit quite large wheels IF you put the right trucks on it. i recommend Bear 852's
