    Default legendary merlin

    it looks like a sick board for campus crusing and pedestrain slalom. I need i smaller board for school but that is also a fun carver and mild slid board. if any one could give me feed back about the board in general or possible set ups. thanks.

    I haven't ridden it, but I would set it up with Bennett 5.0s and 70mm zigs.

    bump. i've been looking at either a legendary merlin/gnome, or a humu for school. i'm thinking merlin (over gnome) because i have huge feet...other than that i don't know much about it.

    If you have big feet, I wouldn't suggest it. Cutouts account for much smaller foot space, and possible footbite. I know some people with larger feet would recommend it, but at 6'0 with size 11 shoes, I've ridden boards that size and found them slightly uncomfortable.

    If you really want a small board, I'd suggest
    Galac Land Surfing POD Also very small, but it's designed for campus cruising.
    Mile High Skates
    Mile High Skates

    The last two are limited edition boards. Get the bigger one if you want more footspace, get the smaller one if you want more portability.

    woah the galac pod looks sick...but i don't have the money for it (especially since you need to order all the hardware separately). the bennett also looks good...time to do some research.

    not to hijack the thread BUT

    i was looking at the completes on muirskates and the honey flashback and gravity mini classic both look good. but not a lot in the way of reviews...they're both 27" and within my price range. any input on this?
