Pick a board for me

[Cameronisswell]

I'm trying to find a board that is low to the ground and easy to push.

And has enough flex to pump in and out of carves comfortably but not so much that it can't go faster.

Im 5' 10 and growing, 180 lbs.

Thanks

edit: i also have big ass feet so it needs to be wide.

Price range? size? are you a beginner?

Supercharger 2?

Supercharger 2?

^That's beast^

Price range? size? are you a beginner?

Im willing to spend up to $300 because I have been saving up for a while.

I have a loaded pintail right now, but I have gotten too heavy for it, and I want to try something different.

Supercharger 2?

That looks interesting and cool, but it says 7 plies maple with 2 thermoplastic layers.
Also they shortened the wheelbase from the original by 3".

I'm pretty sure that means the deck will be very stiff, too stiff to do what I want comfortably.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

I was just looking around and I saw this.


Hustler looks nice, and with some 50/50 randals or 852 bears and grippins it seems like a nice ride.

Any feedback?

Comet FSM
Comet Pagan
Soon to come, Comet Loki?

What is the Loki? Is that the pagan with a shortened wheelbase?


If so, which would be best for cruising and pumping around, and also some hills?

[krebhorn]

the loki is a smaller pagan. length 39, wheelbase 29.25 and 9.85 inches wide.. or so.

cruising and pumping and some hills. well the cruising and hills would be any of the three, just your preference.

pumping would be in your bushing set-up.

hope this helps.

Im interested in the Loki, what will the flex be like on it?
As for the bushings, would double barrel venoms/sabres be appropriate?

I assume that it will be on the stiff to solid side by the looks on the pagan.


I still like the look of the hustler though, does anybody have any experience with it?

[Wells]

The new 'charger has wheelbases at 28.5 and 29.5, the same or longer than the Hustler (28.5). If you're 180lbs and growing, you'll totally be able to flex it. It's also way beefy and wide.

charger, if you want it shorter then glider.. then set it up with some indys or MHS hybrids then some 66mm-ish wheels

I'll vouch for the Hustler. I think that would be a good investment. At 125 lbs it had just too little flex for me, so you might want to try to stand on one before you get it.

yes those bushings are appropriate, and it will have a mild flex...more of a dampening flex than anything else...

[Cameronisswell]

Well Im really interested in the FSM after reading through the entire development thread.

Can somebody with experience with the board tell me how comfortable the board is for pushing?

I'm thinking FSM, mhs hybrids, stimulus. Any opinions?
